May be I should have given more detal.   See:  
http://www.benzedrine.cx/milter-regex.html

for the man page etc.

The "not" bit is not a regex not as such  it to link two regex.

as in this example from the man page.

header /From/ /domain/i and body /money/
     ( not header /From/ /domain/ ) and ( body /sex/ or body /fast/ )

In the examples I gave i.e.

	reject "Not today thank you!"
        header /(To|Cc)/i  /(spam1|spam2)@domain.co.uk/
        
        Or 
        
        reject "Not today thank you!"
        envrcpt  /(spam1|spam2)@domain.co.uk/


reject "Not today thank you!"
header /To/i  /spam1 at domain.co.uk/

Works and mail gets rejected.


reject "Not today thank you!"
header /(To|Cc)/i  /spam1 at domain.co.uk/

lets the mail though.

reject "Not today thank you!"
envrcpt  /spam1 at domain.co.uk/

Works and rejects if the To: or Cc: lines match.

reject "Not today thank you!"
envrcpt  /(spam1|spam2)@domain.co.uk/ 

Lets the mail though again.  <sigh>
