I personally would welcome such a test, since I assume its trivial to program and wouldn't add much processing time. Then each to his own if they want to use it and what weight to apply.

While spam constitutes about 95% of my late-night traffic, my FP's are already spread through the hours fairly evenly since most of those are from automated mailers of some sort, and adding points to everything that comes at certain hours would probably create a lot more issues, even if scored very low.
