Yes. I noticed that.

And it appeared to me that milter invocation might not be all that
efficient either... the whole darn message has to be passed around,
between agents, multiple times.

These are the two main reasons why I was attracted to the policy
server feature of Postfix, as opposed to writing a full-blown milter.
It seems a lot easier to do, and to get right, and it doesn't
necessitate the copying of each entire message from place to place,
multiple times.

For these reasons, I'd still like to try to do what I want to do
via a policy server. But I'll definitely need to be able to pass
(just) specific headers to the policy server in order to do what
I had in mind.

I'll understand if you're reluctant to add that. If so, I'll probably
still try to hack it in myself somehow... just in my local sources here,
of course.
