Some colleagues and I came up with this idea as well and were kicking it around, trying to figure out the best way to code it, and then to try and test it against a corpus and so forth to see what effect it had on false positives and false negatives. I came up with the name "Five-Card Charlie", which is a reference to the game of Blackjack, where under some rules the player wins if he has any hand of five cards and does not bust (exceed 21). I figured if any message tripped 5 positive tests, the chances of it being non-spam were very small, so that would tip it over into the SPAM=yes category So if anyone has coded this up, I'd be happy to test it. Otherwise I'll play around with the idea a bit. -- Michael C.
