MailScanner works solely on the message's real recipients (in the
envelope), regardless of what may happen to be in the headers. The headers
are not used to determine the delivery addresses, they are purely for user
consumption. The "To:" and "Cc:" headers are irrelevant to MailScanner, as
they are to the delivery process.

If you want to block them, you need to see the real recipient addresses in
your mail log.
