If you'd store the checksum(s) of these projects within searchable, 
indexable DB fields per each e-mail, you could make easy spam checking 
yourself. Imagine every 30 minutes you recheck the last received 
e-mails, and you find that 30% of them have the same DCC checksum. 
There's a BIG chance that those messages are spam.

The point is it must be cheap (in terms of I/O and CPU) to find out 
which e-mails you want to doublecheck, as you can't reprocess all 
messages (at least not an ISP).

So there's not really a lot of support to implement in dbmail. Just 
one/some fields per e-mail with checksum(s). A field spam_score would 
also be good. But it'd be good to speak with developers of SA, DCC and 
so on before, maybe they've got their own ideas already.
