Hello,
I think I understand what you're asking. The message doesn't get
processed 500 times unless you are using stream_by recipient(). Otherwise
the message is parsed once and bounced once for the very reason you
mention: if one message is spam, they all are spam. However, if you use
stream_by_recipient(), or stream_by_domain() I imagine, the list of
recipients is expanded BEFORE parsing, allowing some semblance of per user
settings. This is like a setup I have. So, if you want it to bounce once
for the 500 people, simply make sure you don't have stream_by functions in
your filter. That should be all.
HTH,
Stefano
