There is now a "Scan Messages" configuration option which 
enables/disables *all* scanning and processing of mail. If any of the 
sender+recipients of the message want scanning, then it is scanned for 
everyone. This may well be a simpler solution to what you are trying to 
achieve.

The only function that is not covered by "Scan Messages" is the "Archive 
Mail" archiving (as that isn't really scanning or processing, and is 
very useful at times).
