sure. finding/correlating the information is certainly possible.

i'm just cleaning up reporting atm, separating what's needed privately/locally, 
and what's public.

the point is simply that postfix reports the reject message -- in full -- from 
the milter, back to the connecting sender.
 that's public, not private ...

yep, that works.  an additional layer of obfuscation.  messy, but one makes do.

not all milters allow setting the reply/reject SMTP message.  for those, yet 
another trip to the milter logs.

alternative is dump 'all' logs to logstach/splunk, and massage there.
