Delaying Local Delivery, Configuring additional Spool type repositories?

[Andrew Gilbert]

We would like to be able to delay processing of a certain set of inbound 
messages. Anyone have good ideas on how best do this. Possibilities seem 
to be:

A. Modify /org/apache/james/transport/JamesSpoolManager.java to put a 
delay into the accept() call for the inbound spool. This has the 
disadvantage of delaying processing of all messages, not just a subset. 
In addition we have to spin
a build of James, which isn't a big deal but is less convient than using 
the Mailet API.

B. Write a matcher for the set of messages we want to delay, route them 
to a custom processor. In that processor have
a custom Mailet which writes to a custom Spool repository and runs a 
number of threads which then pluck from that
repository using an accept(delay) call.

Would prefer something akin to B, only not sure if it is possible or 
straightforward to configure an additional spool and get a handle to it 
inside our "Delay" mailet.

Any feedback welcome.

Using James 2.1.3 on Linux under JDK1.3.X.

Thank you.
