Yep. I have rules for both of those cases, and they do moderately well.
However, how well they will do is very dependent on your personal situation.
I don't expect to get any mail that is cc-ed to other people on earthlink,
so that is an easy spam check. At work such a rule would never work,
because I get things cc-ed to many other people there all the time.
Also, a rule that checks to see if my name appears in the ToCc list will
fail for most mailing lists. Since I'm not on very many of those, I just
have them whitelisted sufficiently to get around the negative hit for not
having my name.
So those kinds of things can be useful rules in some cases, and worse than
worthless in others.
