That's why the feature (putting two terminal actions together in an 
access rule) is undocumented.  The "consult" and "deny" actions are 
contradictory.

You could forward the messages in a way that allows them to be 
separated.  For example, send them to [email protected] 
and sort them based on the subaddress. 

Even better, you could just use "consult" and have the owner approve or 
disapprove messages that are thought to contain commands.  If the owner 
wants to see the message in any case, wouldn't that be simpler?
