Hi Evan,

it is currently an addition to qmail-scanner
As for whielisting: if the envelope from matches @spamassassin.apache.org or 
@lists.sourceforge.net
or my username (yes, I sometimes bcc me a copy) let it through.
Otherwise if none of my possible names appears in either to or cc, it must be 
for the recycle bin.
I check for my username, my email addy, and another email addy that gets 
forwarded to me.

It seems my email appears on one of those "millions of emails" cdroms, and 
there probably
is software that picks ever 50'th name for To, and sends bcc to 49, so I often 
find
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
About the display name: when I use feedback forms or signup to a newsletter, I 
expect
either no display name at all, or my last name, or first name + last name. When 
someone
replies, I expect to see what I was sending. So why should I want to read mails 
with
arbitrary display names
