It sounds like a good idea to me. Of course, you need to find a reliable way to do it and test to make sure it hits enough mail to be worthwhile. And, of course, make sure it works the way you think it will. :) I think the problem is that most people think "Whitelist == Mark as Ham". In those terms, I'm not sure I would go with this idea. But I think it would probably be worth subtracting a few points from the score. With testing, we may find that it does work well as a solid whitelist, or we may find that it doesn't work at all, but we'll never know until we try ... so go for it! -- Bowie
