Then <spam> would expand to <address@hidden>

Right, only envelope recipients matter here.  That's doable, too.  So
if an incoming spam was sent "To: address@hidden, address@hidden,
address@hidden, and address@hidden", but you are MX'ing for hostA and
hostB, the incoming message would have an evelope recipient list of
"address@hidden, address@hidden, address@hidden", and the redirected
message would go to address@hidden and address@hidden

You'd want to make sure that you mever scanned outgoing emails, though,
or else an accidentally-tagged message could end up being sent to
"address@hidden", etc.
