I'd like a SPAMfilter: if the 'same' (reasonably identical) email is
sent to 3 or more of my email accounts, treat it as SPAM.

There's the other common case of your client who happens to have all of
your email addresses and doesn't know which to use so sends to them all.

I thought we didn't use rules to filter spam anymore, because they just
get more and more complicated and less effective. We use bayesian
filtering, although I believe we won't tackle spam filtering at all on
1.0. Either handle it on the server (gmail, spam assassin) or get a
plugin.

SpamAssassin still has plenty of rules. My Exim installation employs plenty of rules. 95% of my sites inbound mail is rejected at SMTP time by half a dozen simple rules. They're mostly rules that a client couldn't use, though.

I don't think that spam filtering should be a 1.0 feature. It'd be nice if the filter engine could call third party spam detectors though.


Since someone mentioned that Apple Mail's (crappy) spam filtering latent
something something framework is available in the OS, one could write a
spam filter plugin with that. Or, you know, just get SpamSieve. @mjtsai
has manifested on the list that he's willing to make Letters and
SpamSieve work together.
