OK spamassassin folks: Rules which would say no puppies on software mailing
lists, no software on dog-breeders mailing lists. A few false alarms, i.e.
"that great new app is such a sweet-puppie" and that "breeder's management
package is a killer app" (or is that a yap?).

so we can no more discuss Puppy Linux or the Puppy package manager on
debian lists?
keyword filtering on general public lists is risky. I wonder if training
bayes with a large corpus would help (the problem is what spam to use in
the corpus).

(1) Some __ rules to detect the mailing lists from the headers (assuming
the list manager puts in nice mailing list headers), like
header __LIST_DEBIAN List_ID =~ /\.debian\./
(2) Some content-specific __ rules, like
body __PUPPIES /\bpupp(?:y|ies)\b/i
(3) meta them together for scoring
meta DEBIAN_PUPPIES (__LIST_DEBIAN && __PUPPIES)
score DEBIAN_PUPPIES 1.00
Repeat as needed.

Efficiency can magnify good, but it magnifies evil just as well.
