Interesting.  I'll have to think about this, but it seems to me that  
if you wanted to turn off 'reject' in Mailman 3, you'd have to end up  
disabling that chain (for things that make it past LMTP).  For the  
LMTP hooks, it should be no problem, because I think the way you're  
going to do it is to just do the SMTP-reject if the right rules match  
during the LMTP phase, i.e. that part of the system wouldn't run the  
full chain processor.
