That's not the kernel of my research work but, sorry, I'm developing a
new kind of factorial analysis :-)))

Of course, if your anti-spam filter is the first. If we were working
together (why not?), I would have a filter signaled on "spb.edu" in
the sender, to route your mail in a "StPetersbourg" folder, like I have
one for each University I work with.
Well, I have a "friends" folder, too, a "business" also, etc... each
filtered with the sender.
As I don't think my usual senders are going to spam me, the anti-spam
comes after.
My task force don't shot everything which is moving. It asks for
password before :)
No password : go to jail (spam folder) ; then, ask the judge - me ;-)
- for death or freedom.
I agree that the "not me in TO" is the most powerful *by now*, but my
(small) experience with that system don't give as many false positive
as you and SL seem to think :)))
