I've been considering adding a crm (http://crm114.sourceforge.net/)
style spam filter to my mail pipeline, but unfortunately I can't quite
figure out how I would integrate it with tmda.

If I put it AFTER tmda in the pipeline, then I can't tell if a message
was let through because it is on the white-list, or if it was just not
known whether it was SPAM.

If I put it in front of TMDA I lose the advantage of TMDA's filtering
patterns for whitelists, and TMDA confirmations might potentially be
identified as SPAM.  Now, crm114 has a whitelist feature built in, so I
could use this for this particular filter, but I'm not confident I'll
stick with it.

Is there any hope of some sort of "plug-in" system for tmda to add
custom filters based on special filtering techniques like these
statistical means (Another option is the "razor" which uses a global
database of spam message signatures which never has a false positive so
it would help)?

The reason I am approaching these systems is because I am generating a
fair amount of traffic sending useless confirm messages, and I am
getting a lot bounces to my confirm messages, both of which I'd like to
avoid.  If I can use these other filters to identify SPAM without
sending a confirmation that would be cool.

Thanks in advance,
Dobes
