This is one of the techniques that the SpamDunk ruleset uses. The problem
is that mailing lists meet this criteria, and I do not want to have to
manage a list of my subscribed lists. This changes frequently.
The opposite end of the spectrum is something like SpamBouncer, which as I
understand filters on known spammer addresses (eg,
friend(_at_)public(_dot_)com). The
problem here is that this too is a moving target (and much more dynamic
than my list-of-lists).
I was just wondering if there was any product out there that was a sort of
happy medium between the two styles. Hueristic-based, low false-positive
rate, yet with support for an easily edited file of spammer addresses when
necessary.
