Is it too much to assume that eight-bit characters in the e-mail part of 
an address is a sign of junk? I get a lot of Asian spam in this form, 
but I understand Unicode domains are on their way, so it will now be 
possible for me to receive mail from a domain I can't possibly type in 
to my computer. I characterize this as follows:

header TO_8BIT        To =~ /[\x80-\xff]/
describe TO_8BIT    Addressee has 8 bit characters
score TO_8BIT        5

Another test I would propose:

header TO_ADMIN_ACCT    To =~ /(?:webmaster|root|postmaster)\@/
describe TO_ADMIN_ACCT    Sent to an administrative account aliased to me
score TO_ADMIN_ACCT    1.5

I get bunches of spam sent to these addresses, none of which are me, all 
of which are widely known to exist.
