This probably wouldn't work for me.  I administer several web sites for

that if the client took any pictures, they can e-mail them to me and I
will post them on the appropriate website.  I can get e-mail from an
individual I never heard of before (with, occasionally, a huge
attachment), and once I answer him/her with the report that the images
have been posted, I might never hear from him/her again.  Most of these
messages wouldn't be BCC'd, of course, but in a very short time, I'd have
a very large white list with a large percent of the addresses never to be
used again.

Have you considered using spamassassin? I get spammed most days and
spamassassin handles it just fine (with a serious shedload of
filtering expressions) so I hardly ever see spam in my regular inbox.
