So this is what you mean: ?

- Set up a few spam target emails, and spread them around.
- Make the SMTP server calculate MD5 sums of all messages to these spam atrgets, probably removing all instances of username and domain first.
- The SMTP server can now safely ignore/delete any message to valid users which matches the MD5 sum of a known spam message.

This would probably be the most reliable spam killer. Are any spam filters using this yet?
