Stopping messages without To: or Cc: header(s)

You can do this with a simple SpamAssassin rule to pick up the 
"undisclosed-recipients" in the "To" header. Assign it a score of just 
off zero (so it gets executed). Then use a "SpamAssassin Rule Actions" 
setting to delete any messages hitting this rule.

Dead easy :-)
