Why not have a spamassassin header check.. something like

header	ABUSE_RULE	To =~ /\babuse\@*$/i
header	POSTMASTER_RULE	To =~ /\bpostmaster\@*$/i

and give it a negative score.. This way if i am correct, 'Cc' and 'Bcc' 
get ignored.

Also check the syntax once again, rule writing is not one of my strong 
points.
