Description
Create a MetaCert App that once enabled and configured will call MetaCert API from our backend using our existing internal spam/phish filtering hooks, before indexing URLs, making sure they are safe.
The admin should have the option to configure the behaviour once a bad URL is detected:
- Block the message entirely.
- Replace the URL with the word "BLOCKED" and the reason.
- Add a warning message on top of the original.

Research direction
Start with the existing internal spam/phish filtering hooks used before URL indexing, then read the MetaCert API documentation and the linked reference implementations. Define the admin configuration and verify that detected bad URLs support blocking, replacement with "BLOCKED" and the reason, or a warning above the original message.
