If you are looking at the content, there is no other way you can
do that. However, my view is that this decision needs to be made
while the sender is still connected, so that you can decide what kind
of SMTP Reply code to generate.
If you look at the message and decide what to do with it
after-the-fact, then you've already lost. If nothing else, you open
yourself to being used to DoS someone in a joe-job.
PS, I've been living with stamp generation for the past four months
on a Pentium II/333 in foreground mode and it doesn't suck too bad
although it would be better in the background. Check the headers.
Lots of things work acceptable well in small-scale use, but fail
completely when you try to scale them up.
