I'm faced with a similar situation for my vanity domains.  I've worked out
a solution that will work for me, but I don't know how well it would apply
to your environment:

  . rejected items are logged to per-recipient dirs
  . users can 'browse' the past week or 14 days worth
    of rejected items, and add (via html gui), derived
    whitelist entries.
  . users can also forward items from the 'holding' area
    to thier normal mailbox.
  . crontab'd purging of old items from the log dir.

The above at least allows users to look for 'missing' DCC-threshhold
reaching items, and add whitelist entries to prevent future similar
items from being blocked.

Hope this helps,

Dave
