>From what I remember of conversations on the Spamassassin Users email list
about a month ago, they are looking into this kind of thing. They are
rejigging all the API'S and will provide a 'plugin' facility for version
3.0 which should be out sometime soon.

Also worth searching the sa-users email list to look for this as I seem to
remember someone implementing this scheme for SA already..again I think it
was about 1 month ago.

As for the effectivenes of SA, you need to add additional rules from
Chris's Rules Emporiam (see SA web site for links) and keep a tag on
things like the forged Haebus header problem. There was a discussion a
couple of weeks ago on this as to the additional rules people deploy on
their servers.
