Depends on your setup. If you're filtering at the MDA layer (procmail), you'll need to start doing per-user configuration, and only have said all_spam_to in the user_prefs of the respective user, or better yet, just bypass calling SA for them entirely. If you are filtering using a "site-wide" configuration at the MTA layer (milter, etc), you probably can't fix this without some difficulty. The sticky issue here is there's one email, sent to two users, and SA has to either tag it or not. The usual approach to fixing this is to use a MTA layer integration that is capable of splitting-up multi-recipient messages into a bunch of single-recipient messages, bypass SA altogether for one copy, and give the others to SA. Not pretty, but some tools can do it (I forget which ones offhand). Both of the approaches involving bypassing SA will work a whole lot better than using all_spam_to anyway. all_spam_to will, for example, not prevent mail bcc'ed to your wife from getting tagged. It's just a whitelist based on what's in the To: and Cc: headers, and nothing more. While this can be useful, most of the time it's a kludge.
