MailScanner as such is more "gateway centric" (than a "normal"
SA+procmail setup), so it soesn't really do this, no.

But having said that, there are solutions ... MailWatch provides
SQL-based white/blacklists, that should be per recipient, provided you
1) split mails/recipient and 2) allow users access to MailWatch. I
don't use this myself, so someone who does would have to fill in any
details:-).

One should perhaps be able to do something with a Custom Function to,
but why bother if there already is a working solution about;-).
