Ok .... a message matches a policy.

A policy can contain various specifiers, like  [email protected],
@example.org, 192.168.0.0/24 or %group .... where %group is a group.

Group members are matched  a OR b OR c OR d, where a b c are members of
that group.

Policy members are matched a AND b AND c AND d, where a b c d are
members of that policy.

You then attach a feature to a policy, wither an ACL, greylisting or
maybe quotas.
