Reputation inevitably inolves heuristics. If you want to jump from anti-forgery to anti-spam, I think it's probably necessary.

I would like to find ways to do less heuristics and more deterministic things.

I believe we should stick to anti-forgery. Any-spam is a minefield, given different peoples/organistions/governments ideas on whether a specific e-mail is spam or ham. Anti-forgery will kill off a huge percentage of spam anyway, and there will be little for the heuristic methods to work on - possibly giving rise to an increase in false positives there because of the lack of a statisically meaningful number of mails to work on.
