Hello,

This solution however causes ALL spam to be sent to the postmaster, and
this is not what I want.  I only want mail sent to postmaster to be
received by the postmaster account, even if it is spam, but not any Cc:
or Bcc: recipients.

The problem is, and this has been discussed many times on this list,
when there are Cc: users and you use the whitelist function, everyone on
the Cc: list gets the mail even though only one email address is
whitelisted.  The whitelist function is not therefore useable for this,
and I am trying to find an alternate way.
