We do have a "heuristics" feature that is essentially in a permanent beta
testing stage. It does something similar by running dozens of various
tests, and making calculations based on databases of spam and legitimate
mail we have. In theory, it should work great. In reality, though, there
are a few too many false positives. The problem is distinguishing the junk
mail that people ask for from the real spam.
