I don't think this is a 2.1 type thing, but I like this idea. It potentially
simplifies a lot of things, and gives admins the ability to configure stuff
on systems where they don't have access to anything but the admin pages.

I would, by the way, do two of these: a pre-filter and a post-filter. The
pre-filter is primarily for cleaning up before it goes for delivery. If you
allow it to return a set of known values, you can even use it for
determining moderator hold, rejection, etc (and through that, plug into
tools like spamassasin). The post-filter would be a nice, easy hook into
things like mhonarc for customized archive systems and the like...
