Really, that shouldn't matter. the AWL doesn't care about recipients. It cares
about the sender and the "originating" IP (which is really the first untrusted
IP, since all the ones before it could be forged).

Are you sure it's the auto-whitelist (AWL)?

Only whitelist_to, more_spam_to, or all_spam_to should be affected by the Cc 
list.

read man spamassassin, and look at these options:

--remove-addr-from-whitelist

--add-addr-to-whitelist

--add-addr-to-blacklist

Despite what many might think, these commands are pretty much only useful in
making fixes to a misguided AWL.

They aren't really very useful for black/whitelisting senders in the general 
sense.
