[Mimedefang] Question regarding stream_by_recipient()

[Larry Starr]

I am running mimedefang 2.37/spamassassin 2.60 on a redhat mail gateway (no 
local users).

I have recently been asked, by my CEO, to "Lower" the spam scores for him and
our President.   He tends to subscribe to some "questionable" mailing lists, 
etc.  and has seen some tagged as spam.  He's now afraid he's missing 
something.

My problem is that by lowering the addresses (adding a negative score) when 
either of these individuals show up in the recipients list, I have 
effectively done the same for most of the company, based on the number of 
SPAM's that are addressed to many recipients, and include one or both of 
these individuals.

I am familiar with the docs for "stream_by_redipient" and am reluctant to use 
this for all messages, due to the additional load on my Mail server.

Has anyone tried, or does anyone see a problem with, code like:
       sub filter_begin {
           if (stream_by_recipient()  && <list contains specific users> )
           {
               return;
           }
           # Rest of filter_begin
       } 

So that the "stream_by_recipients" only fires if a specific set of user(s) are 
in the recipient list?

Thank you,
