Even better, if it's suspected spam, reject it. If you get a false
positive, the sender should get to know about it. Delivering real spam into
mailboxes is pointless, and delivering false positives into spam mailboxes
just ensures that they'll get lost - you might just as well thrown them
away.

Still, you might also look at Exim's "personal" filter condition, and
emulate that by adding headers before delivery. So, for example, if the
recipient isn't a "To:" recipient, then add the header.
