And after looking myself at http://www.milter.info/milter-bcc/index.shtml once again it is clear that this simple milter is able to distinguish between different domain mail addresses. So it should perfectly fit for your needs. In addition I suggest to have a look at http://www.milter.info/milter-ahead/index.shtml to be able to reject all mail coming in on the backup MX for the primary where the recipient addresses are not valid (99% spam, besides address mistyping by senders). You will avoid much traffic and mail processing this way. Else your postmaster account will quickly be filled with masses of undeliverable crap. As David already pointed out, today spammers regularly take the MX host with less priority as very often those secondary or tertiary servers lack the anti spam mechanism and protection the primary MX host normally has.
