In the interim, a less complex method might be to have a setting which will ignore a white list entry for an address if more than one recipient is specified. This might take the form of a special kind of whitelist entry. Most valid messages to postmaster, for example, only have postmaster as the recipient. I know this would be less complicated than splitting up the messages.
I wonder if there is a clean way to intercept message retreival or final delivery (better) with a program like a "second pass" of Declude or another utility like Message Sniffer. I'm not close enough to the guts of IMail to know if this is practical, but it might significantly simplify this problem.
