It's possible to create user-defined checks on an outgoing message before it's sent, just like the attachment check; I have a number of checks that, e.g., warn me if I'm about to send a message from my personal email address to a work contact, and so on. The relevant file defining those checks is called messageVerifications.plist and it lives in ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources. For instance, here's a bit of mine that ensures auto-complete doesn't have me send mail to a no-longer-in-service address:

   {
      	title = "She changed her email address";
      	details = "so use NEWADDRESS at gmail.com instead.";
      	conditions = "#recipient ~ 'OLDADDRESS at hotmail.com'";
      },

Wrap that in

	{

	verification = (

	{CHUNKS OF CODE LIKE THE ABOVE GO HERE},

	);

	}

being careful about where you use parens ( ) and where you use curly brackets { }, name and locate the file correctly, and you might be able to make it work? I forget where I found guidelines for formatting the conditions, but they're somewhere...
