Safe Words

[Alex Neuman]

True, but he might want something like Scott Adams uses for his e-mail. If a
certain word (Dilbert) is not found at the end of the message, he gets rid
of it.

This way you could give your friends (even make it a ruleset) specific words
- or made up words, or proper names with weird spelling that won't show up
in dictionaries - that would trigger a whitelist status.

I guess this could be done using spamassassin's rules, and giving a rule a
significantly negative number.

Don't you think that if such a list exist, spammers will find it and use it?

You'd be better off using bayes...
