Run reformail _after_ you've checked for all the possible reasons why a message might be deferred.

Some of them are quite costly: invoking SpamAssassin, for instance.

Part of our motivation for using the msgid cache is to avoid invoking SpamAssassin unnecessarily.

We are discussing doing something like this:

copy cache to cache.tmp reformail -D cache.tmp attempt delivery reformail -D cache

If delivery fails, skip the last step. This is hardly elegant or cheap, but it would work. I would be much happier if I could call "reformail -D" without a length argument to cause it to perform a read-only check.
