The SMTP client cannot add or remove recipients.  The decision to
forward mail needs to be made before the queue manager.

Therefore, milter_header_checks is more practical.

spammer -> smtpd -> cleanup -> qmgr -> smtp -> yahoo etc.
              milter adding         -> local -> mailbox
              spam header;
              milter_header_checks
              adding yahoo etc.
              address.
