Rob,

There would be more false positives if you counted total numbers as opposed to successive numbers.

maybe a bad idea -
 
We send out e-mail that has a Variable Return Address, so that we can handle bounces well.  In our case, that address is a combo of letters and numbers (lots of numbers sometimes).  And, we work hard to make sure our mail is all requested!
 
Other legit mailers use something similar.  It does suggest the mail comes from a mailing list, but doesn't help to separate legit from spam.

not convinced that this would be a very clear marker for spam though (depends on what the automated real stuff does), but you could probably set up a filter to test the theory

First create a filter file test and score it as a negative 2:
