Unless I'm very much mistaken, the spam wouldn't be caught by your filter
unless it had 100 recipients *on/via your server*. This variable contains
the *envelope recipients*, which means exim isn't counting the Bcc lines,
it's counting the RCPT TO: commands issued at SMTP time. The mail might
have 1000 recipients, but if it only has 1 recipient on your server, then
it won't be caught by this filter.
