MailScanner itself does not split up messages, it has to have 1 answer for
the entire message. In this case the right answer is easy: you scan it if
*any* of the recipients wants it scanned.

However, the solution to the general problem is to search the mailing list
archive for "queue groups" assuming you are using sendmail. This can be
used to split up a message into a separate message for each recipient.
