I did have problems with the pre-defined patterns myself: FROM_DAEMON

real person. In fact, those info@ addresses are very common these
days. This effectively makes FROM_DAEMON useless for avoiding to
respond to daemons as it also catches real addresses. It's easy to
add more conditions for catching what FROM_DAEMON missed, but it's
impossible to undo what FROM_DAEMON has already matched.

No, it's not impossible, nor hard, to stop a recipe with a match-in-
progress.
