Hi Rick,

Great!  Thanks a lot for the tip.  I'm assuming it should go first in
the list to avoid too much re-writing on Mimedefang's part.  

Thanks again for your help.

Assuming the existence of an account named "jsmith"

  if ($score > 10 && $#Recipients < 1 && $Recipients[0] =~ /jsmith\@/i)
{
    md_graphdefang_log('spam', $hits, $RelayAddr);
    action_discard();
  }

at the appropriate location in your filter should do the trick,
after which you should be able to corfirm its working by looking
for discard messages in the mail logs. On my system they contain
"Discarding because filter instructed us to" at the end of the line.
