Request

Sorry about the long setup, but I think it will show why the request is 
important to me.

I have a layered spam control system:
1) Local blacklist
2) Remote blacklists.
3) Envelope sender (DNS/MX/etc.) checks.
4) Honeypot.
5) Qconfirm (for those users that opt in).

The honeypot (4) adds the sending ip address to the local blacklist.  A 
service will expire the IP address from the blacklist if no smtp 
connection from that IP is made over a specified duration.

The nice thing about (1) through (3) is that they don't queue anything. 
The email is effectively blocked before it enters the system.  However, 
a small percentage of emails gets through this and an then an even 
smaller percentage of the remaining get through qconfirm.  Those that 
get through qconfirm mostly have a return envelope domain set to my 
domain with a munged user name (i.e. joezcv when sending to joe).  I'm 
planning on updating my envelope checker to see if the sender says he's 
from my domain the sending user is valid.

Request:

I'd like qconfirm to forward emails that are not confirmed automatically 
to the honeypot.  So my question is...  Is there a way to hook the 
qconfirm system so that when an email expires it can do this?

Thanks,
Gary
