I'm not aware of this functionality besides the SQL custom functions (see 
below), but it very much looks like "spam.bydomain" will be getting used 
for the To domain. So, it's intended not to be used for single to 
addresses.

It was designed for the To *and* the From address. At least that is how the 
SQLBlackWhitelist.pm works. I'm not sure what the "domain 
whitelist/blacklist custom functions" is, I wasn't aware of such a thing.
You might try:
$to $from yes

"default" is actually the wildcard for "To: *"

The whole stuff in SQLBlackWhitelist.pm looks a bit different and seems to 
have been stripped down for those "by domain" functions.

  return 1 if $BlackWhite->{$to}{$from};
  return 1 if 
$BlackWhite->{$to}{$fromdomain};
  return 1 if $BlackWhite->{$to}{$ip};
  
return 1 if $BlackWhite->{$to}{'default'};
  return 1 if 
$BlackWhite->{$todomain}{$from};
  return 1 if 
$BlackWhite->{$todomain}{$fromdomain};
  return 1 if 
$BlackWhite->{$todomain}{$ip};
  return 1 if 
$BlackWhite->{$todomain}{'default'};
  return 1 if 
$BlackWhite->{'default'}{$from};
  return 1 if 
$BlackWhite->{'default'}{$fromdomain};
  return 1 if 
$BlackWhite->{'default'}{$ip};

(the box is an LF, the file I've got has Unix linebreaks, sorry).
