Should be easy to setup an account or two with a simple procmail rule for
this.

However be careful letting users do this unsupervised. We have a system
where customers can go to a webpage a recover spam thats been filtered
off. It would appear that (ignoring the couple of people who insist of
subscribing to "FreeLotto" lists *and* have a threshold of around 4)
at least half the emails customers recover are in fact spam.

Some people like to double check that emails saying "This can be trusted!
I joined and got refund today!!!!" (actual example) arn't in fact real.
