I attended a seminar yesterday about spam.  One of the idea that was pitched as being in a product was training the inbound spam detecting on the patterns of outbound mail.   They talked about their filters looking at outbound mail, building patterns off it, then applying those patterns to

I got the idea of creating rules that would be triggered depending upon what other rules had already been triggered, so that you could combine different tests for greater accuracy. For instance, the rule US_DOLLARS is described as a "Nigerian scam key phrase", but it's separate from the NIGERI
