Thanks for this and Chris Edwards, we are planning to use something like

#deny message = "Your email has been rejected due to an extraordinarily
\
#high SPAM score $spam_score\n"
#     condition = ${if <{$message_size}{200k}{1}{0}}
#     spam = nobody:true
#     condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{300}{1}{0}}


So from what you say if just of of the recipients is a in the
whitelist_to list then it will get the - (minus) score added to the spam
score for the whole email and will therefore get through to all
recipients. Is that correct ?
