As John and a few others pointed out, you need to explain what
SPECIFICALLY you mean.
Or, give an example.
In your original example, you said the mail gets to you, but it says
To: Kirstin.
This is because the 'To" field that is shown in your mail client is -
well, can be anything. I can send you mail that says To:
presid...@whitehouse.gov - but not have it go to
presid...@whitehouse.gov . There's a seperate header that shows who
the mail is actually being delivered to (or rather, what mailbox).
So - as I mentioned, mail on this list goes 'To
users@spamassassin.apache.org', but gets to you.
Same way (in essence) that mail 'to' you says "to Kirstin'..
I can't think of how you could accept one but not the other, without
creating custom rules for every list you sign up for.

Re: Spam with my company domain
What do you want to prevent from happening?
Mail that isn't specifically addressed "To" you not to get to you?
Look at the mail on this list:
To: users@spamassassin.apache.org
Subject: Re: Spam with my company domain
From: Jeremy Davila <jdav...@languageworks.com>
You realize, that would mean you wouldn't get this list mail, and
likely any other mail from any other list, right?
