MailScanner and Spamassasin and Recipient count

Nope, not what I'm talking about... trying to get a count of recipients for some SA rules which depends only on the To and CC header fields which is useless when the message has BCC recipients or the recipient in the header is a mail group.  But I think I got it.

I added this to my sendmail mc to get the envelope recipient count into the headers
H?1?X-Envelope-Nrcpts: ${nrcpts}

Then this rule in SA to trip if greater than 1 to the max possible per transaction.
header          __MULTIPLE_NRCPTS       X-Envelope-Nrcpts =~ /^([2-9]\d*|[1]\d{1}|[1-9]\d{2})$/

If you mean so that SA could apply per recipient rules, then you'll need to split recipients at the MTA.

I know you can count the number of recipients in the header but when it's to a group or BCC, it's only one recipient or so in the headers so you can't count.  I'm assuming MailScanner knows the recipients since it logs it to mailwatch.  Just wondering if there is  a way of passing that info to SA so it could count envelope recipients instead of headers.
