I think the way the config is designed is to place arbitrary
values as values not variable names.

Perhaps...

	[mymailhook "everything"]
        	recipients = me
                branch = "*"

	[mymailhook "all but xyz"]
        	recipients = alice bob charlie
                branch = "*"
                branch = "!xyz"
