This looks to be exactly what I need, thank you!

I've tried to get the syntax right, but it doesn't work for me.  As a 
test, I created a rule in the global Drafts mailbox that checks if any 
address contains either of the first two addresses I know are no longer 
good, and if so, plays a sound (since the mailbox rule facility doesn't 
have an action to display a message).  That works.  I tried to find the 
file that has this rule in it so I can copy the syntax, but I can't find 
it.  I've used grep and other search tools to find all files under 
~/Library/Application Support/MailMate that ends in .plist and has the 
first known bad address in it, but the only file that shows up is the 
messageVerifications.plist I'm trying to get right.

Here's the syntax I'm using:

     {
     verifications = (
         {
             title      = "Sending to Bad Address";
             details    = "Looks like this message has a known-bad 
address as one of the recipients. Are you sure you want to send it?";
             conditions = {
             compound  = "Any";
             condition = "#recipient.address = 'address1 at example1'";
             condition = "#recipient.address = 'address2 at example2'";
                          }
         }
     );
     }
