I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. My domain gets 20-30 emails every day for a guy who left the company 5 years ago. Anything sent to him is guaranteed 100% spam. (I re-enabled his account so I could use his mailbox as a test case when I was evaluating SA for site-wide use.) Any multi-recipient message that includes him in the list of addressees can be trashcanned with no further evaluation needed. In fact, I've been using his "clean" mail spool to retrain the Bayesian filter about spams that were misclassified. I'll try to write up a custom rule for local use that adds mucho points if he's in the recipient list, but I was wondering if this might be something that could be implemented in a more generic fashion, as I suspect that admins at most sites could find an old account or two that receives only spam. For lack of a better term, I guess we could refer to it as a "blacklist_to" list, and it could be managed in much the same way as the other black/white lists.
