Yes. The problem with Alvin's solution is it only looks at the crap that spammers send. A lot of legitimate mail does all the silly things that spammers do, and users do want to receive that mail. Add to that all the broken-ness of many mail systems and you're left with little to count on. You and I may see no legitimate point to html mail, but ordinary users do. I ordinarily couldn't care less about html mail, but if it contains a job offer you bet I want to see it. The same is true for undisclosed-recipients: and "From "'s that don't match mailhosts. For a big organization with thousands of users, what's Spam is not really all that easy to quantify. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
