MailWatch for MailScanner stores all header information in a MySQL database.
Shouldn't be too hard to pull the To: addresses from any messages sent from
your domain form the MailWatch database and build a whitelist that
MailScanner could use to skip SpamAssassin checks (which is what I assume
you want to do).

Depending on the volume, it might be best to implement the whitelist as a
MailScanner database lookup.
