quite alot. There were milters and filters and it was a standard quite a while
before SA adopted it.

90% of the SA setups are on auto-pilot (Think Cpanel/Plesk and all the other
millions of shared hosting shps using SA)
Having it installed doesn't automatically mean anybody will understand it,
mantain it locally or even notice the value.

IIrc, put the MTX plugin as sandbox-darxus.pm plugin in
rulesrc/sandbox/darxus as other sandbox have their test plugins
(hstern/felicity, etc) create the rules and set the rules to "tflags nopublish"
and wait for results.
