Do you mean that emails by spammers are different between what user they
are sent (personalized, etc) to and would not be classifiable as mass
mailing?

Or did you mean that users do send one email to multitude of their
friends and depending on size of isp they may very well be on the same
domain?

I meant that lots of people regularly post to multiple recipients and it's not a mailing list. Business mails and personal mails. If you make this a heuristic in a spam detection mechanism it will be next to useless. If you make this a *requirement* in a mail system it will catch almost nothing but false positives.

PS: Please try not to top post - I had to completely snip the context in this reply as I couldn't get it to make sense any more.
