I've been doing some of that, but not only is it time consuming but it's
an art-form. You get better as you do a LOT of tracing.
What you're proposing is not impossible but not practical for most.\
Filtering spam by exclusion as Marck mentioned works very well and can
be setup and forgotten. You set the spam folder to be purged of old mail
at your preferred time. If you wish to fight spam, trace them and report
them or make SpamCop do it for you.
