You do know that you can use a logical "OR" in your rules right? The
"|" symbol.

For example,

:0
* ^From:.*junker.home|^To:.*junk@figure.home|^Cc:.*crud@somewhere.borg
/dev/null

Would cover three addresses that would go to /dev/null.

Perhaps you're doing something automated that makes this difficult?
