Nothing clean; you'd have to somehow look ahead to the message to determine
who it's from... I suppose you could invoke Majordomo by hand with a
different config file for your messages, and leave the load test above out
of that modified config file.
You could also make the code fragment above check which program was reading
the config file (majordomo, resend, archive, etc.), and make the load
limits only apply to certain programs (resend and archive, for example).
