I was reading through the man pages and found a potential problem regarding the 
options to add-to-whitelist and add-to-blacklist.
According to the manpages:
-W, --add-to-whitelist
           Add all email addresses, in the headers and body of the mail message read 
from STDIN, to the auto­
           matic whitelist.  Note that you must be running "spamassassin" or "spamd" 
with the -a switch for this
           to work.

My question is this.
If I do -R or --add-to-blacklist them am I going to effectively remove myself from the 
whitelist or potentially add myself to the blacklist since my address is also listed 
in the Headers or Body of the email in question?

If I forward email to an alias on my server, then I'll blacklist myself to such an 
extent that I might not accept email anymore.

This is compounded if spam is sent to multiple users on the same server in one email.  
Then we blacklist each other.

Or does spamassassin do something more intuitive than what is implied in the man pages?
