Perhaps this is not the time to report new enhancements, but it was now it came
into my brain... :-)
I'd like to see a white-listing mechanism based on "Friend of a Friend":
http://www.foaf-project.org/
FOAF is a big RDF-based project where you mark up your relationships with your
friends, who is a again marking up their relationships, ad infinitum
(almost) :-) So, you get extensive web-of-trusts, and since spammers have no
friends they're not going to be in there...
A tool to traverse the web of trust and build whitelists would be great.
It is to be noted however, that to avoid the problem of spammers taking
advantage of e-mail addresses in FOAF-files, they have been hashed, so SA needs
to compare the hash.
In fact, Dan Brickley, the W3C RDF Interest Group Chair, has allready done a
lot of work on this, see
http://www.w3.org/2001/12/rubyrdf/util/foafwhite/intro.html
In fact, I found a few weblog comments by Dan where he indicates he has a
working SA implemention:

so I guess this could mean that a full SA implementation quite easily achieved.
