BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy. When someone specifies your address in BCC field, you won't find your address in received message. So the rule above will not work.
Here is a working black rule from http://antispamsniper.com/art-rules.html page:
| Code: | Header{Received} =~ mailbox@domain\.com
not Header{To} =~ mailbox@domain\.com
not Header{CC} =~ mailbox@domain\.com |
The rule deletes the messages directed to mailbox@domain.com, where the fields To and CC don't contain mailbox@domain.com. Actually this rule does what you want - it deletes the messages sent to specified address using BCC. |

I have tried and it works.
If an address is in BCC header, the mail is not downloaded, it stays on the server.
Experience:
I sent a mail to my address with an other address in BCC header.
The name of my rule is BCC. If I look on the archive I see:
Deleted form the server - Reason Black rule: BCC
(I have a French version, I try to translate). |

It looks like your email server violates the standards. The word Blind in BCC means that the recipients must not see the list of addresses from BCC field. Thats why email servers cut off this field from headers and normally BCC field should never exist in received messages. |

If the mail with BCC not empty is downloaded I cannot see the address BCC.
But on the server this address BCC must exist. No? |

No. Normally the mail server cuts off BCC addresses during message delivery, i.e. this field exists only in outgoing messages in your email client. When you download a message from your mailbox, there must be no BCC field, no matter if you download just a header or full message contents. |

I believed that AntispamSniper go simply on the server to see the headers without downloading anything.
Thanks you for your clarifications. |
