Re: [Slightly OT and long] Architectural question...

Hi,

from your description it seems that an "I have seen this before" component would do well.
The IXHASH was originally developed for just that context: if the same mail is sent to almost
everybody in a <50 usergroup, the recipients are likely not to want it.
Consideration (if you want to handle the load ... you probably can): your MTA should reject
unknown recipients, but it could also reject after the data phase and immediately feed to
bayes

That seems wrong to me - what about mailing lists, newsletters etc? Or
would you explicitly whitelist such stuff?
