   If "to:" starts with postmaster@ ??? Hello? Are you sure you don't mean "From:"? These are messages sent to you? Could they be TO a postmaster with you as CC? Sure you don't actually mean "FROM"?

I thought you wanted it to go to Junk E-mail folder. (We generally don't have modifiers like "just" in scripting languages, BTW. ;-)

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set msgList to current messages
    repeat with oneMsg in msgList
        if address of address of (first recipient of oneMsg) starts with "postmaster@" then
            move oneMsg to folder id 6 -- this is Junk E-mail folder, named whatever you like, or else: folder "Junk E--mail"
        end if
        set theFwd to forward oneMsg to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" without opening window
        send theFwd with sending later
    end repeat
end tell
