Hello,

This would have the unfortunate side-effect of forwarding hundreds of
thousands of SPAM emails to the postmaster account.  I am only trying to
receive emails sent to postmaster at mydomain without whitelisting the
entire Cc: list should there be one.  I thought that by creating a
ruleset for high scoring spam I could do this.  I am going to stop
pondering and actually try it since this does not seem to be something
others have tried.
