There's an even bigger problem - you have to make the difficult choice

1) Flag the DMZ mail server of every site that uses RFC1918 space, since the

But as I said in previous post I know of at least one proprietary way to detect
this.

I personally did not think so since I got into studying filtering theory in
1986. Much of my early work was due to an interest I had in robotics and A.I..
Along similar lines, I think it will be possible for intelligent agents to
decide whether email is likely to be interesting to us.
Yes it already exists and will hopefully be demonstrated publicly soon. I
guess (according to Vernon) that means I am a "Kook" until demonstrated :)
