OK, the "meta" rule type looks good. I've added the following, if there's
some I've forgotten, let me know. Mailman lists at UCC already have HTML
messages moderated.

# ucc mail aliases which get lotsa spam, and shouldn't be getting HTML
header UCC_ALIAS        To ~= /(camp|webmasters|door|david)@ucc/i
describe Sent to UCC alias
score UCC_ALIAS         0

meta UCC_ALIAS_HTML     (UCC_ALIAS && HTML_MESSAGE)
describe UCC alias mail with html
score UCC_ALIAS_HTML    4.9
