Does anyone see any value in a CHALLENGE_BOUNCE_CC implementation?

This would enable a copy of the Challenge to be also posted to some
administrative address.

This serves two purposes:
1) provide a handy indication that a challenge was generated (in a way
that one doesn't have to go over his server's logs)
2) give the administrator the option of whitelisting an address by
answering the challenge him/herself. Agreed that this is awkward but
sometimes I deal with senders that fail to properly respond to the
challenge (no comments on this please) and prefer to do this on behalf
of them over contacting them, explaining them what to do, explaining
them why the procedure is as it is etc. This makes it is easy to see
when a user hasn't managed to respond to the challenge in a reasonable
period and, for important messages, do the whitelisting myself.

It was easy enough to modify send_bounce in tmda-rfilter for this
purpose (though by crude patch results in two extra copies of the
confirmation - one to me as the responder and one to me as the
administrative CC) and gave me some peace of mind.
