Apart from phishing, there is no general purpose code to cover fraud attempts. I don't consider fraud a subset of spam, and I'd expect that from a legal point of view it is a completely different kind of a beast, calling for quite different actions / countermeasures / legal response. > The anti-spam codes were determined by looking at error texts produced > by major ISPs and finding commonalities.

I'd expect some better structuring and generalizations, avoiding too specific references to (a random subset of) anti-spam techniques which happen to be in use today but may not be of value in ten years.
