And I'd like a good explanation of how you'd detect that behavior.

Early on in the ASRG mailing list, I think it was Matt Sergent who
suggested that there should be a simple, standardized email that all
spam filters should agree to handle as spam.  Apparently, the
anti-virus community as a test virus and this would be similar.

If such a test-spam was created and standardized by an RFC, you could
detect bogus behavior.

If the test-spam gets through to the recipient unflagged, then the
spam filter is broken.

If the test-spam gets bounced back or gets marked as spam, then the
spam filter is working (for at least this one thing).

If the test-spam just disappears, then the spam filter is broken.
