I believe Scott mentioned that this behaviour counted as spammish behaviour
in SPAMHEADERS, but I think a more pointed ruleset would be very effective
against this kind of spam.
No -- Declude does not do any checking of the return address. The problem is that sooo many people send themselves E-mail in the "Bcc:" header that it isn't very realistic to use.

However, we are thinking of some ways to get around that serious limitation.

I've found that HELOBOGUS, REVDNS, BADHEADERS and MAILFROM are all really
good indicators of spam, but that they are also indicators of a sloppy mail
admin and are thus way too common with normal mail.  I've lowered their
weight, therefore, my HOLD weight is high enough to not hit on them in
combination.
Note that while the HELOBOGUS and REVDNS tests are signs of a sloppy admin, the MAILFROM and BADHADHEADERS tests indicate RFC violations that aren't trivial. In the case of MAILFROM, bounce messages won't be deliverable, and in the case of BADHEADERS, the E-mail may just disappear. Those are problems that must be fixed.
