 * We use posts in a restricted way and need to convert some of the emails to database
   entries. This means that most of the emails that postie receives will not get
   posted. I see there are filters for postie but how would the post be blocked 
   from getting created?

 * If you return null from the postie_post_before filter then the post won’t be 
   created.
