Why not?  I know specious argument, but this would work well so you
could apply a penalty or a credit to a certain domain.

Blackberry devices are just an example, they always trigger certain
rules that push their scores up.  Are they going to change that fact?
Nope.  Do I want to lower the value of those rules?  Nope.  They catch
other traffic.  Do I want to whitelist blackberries entirely...no way.
If I had a mechanism to punish or credit a certain domain, that would
allow such a situation where I can keep rules intact but adjust the
spamminess of a domain.

As well, say you never want to get another email from new zeland
(appoligies to new zelanders ahead of time), you just add a rule to make
their mail so spammy you never see it.

Some of you will say, this is better handled at the MTA; maybe so.  But
handling it after the MTA give me more flexibility as to what I want to
do with it and then, say with mailwatch, easily track what I've done.
