MS store spam ruleset possible?

[Julian Field]

You could do it as a Custom Function. You would have to work out a hash 
of the body of the message, look it up in a little database (SQLite or 
db file preferred) and only store the message if it didn't appear, then 
update the database to stop it being stored again.

Shouldn't take too long for a decent Perl developer to write. But I have 
no plans to put it in the core of MailScanner.

If you want to pay me to write it, then we could negotiate a suitable 
payment for the job.
