so inside QP, the qpsmtpd::address object would have a known parameter
that brings up the per-address persistence hash, which would be a flat
hash. Something like

   $object->{persistent} = (  eval {
$PERSISTENCEFRAMEWORK->new(Address => $object) }  or {} );

at the end of the address object constructor, possibly even more generic.

The "persistent" element would default to a non-persistent version
when $PERSISTENCEFRAMEWORK isn't set to something that works, and when
it has been configured, per-address config can be loaded or altered
via

  return HARDFAIL if
$AddressObject->{persistent}->{AcceptableSpamScore} <
$Message->getSpamScore

or such
