So what brilliant metric do you have in mind to measure unsolicited vs. solicited commercial email? I know I've registered for many commercial lists that send material that really reads like spam. Moreover, spammers will be able to circumvent SA if they make spam look like this SCE. This kind of convergence of the two.... well, it stinks. We can kill SCE, or we can cripple identification of UCE. Obviously an interim solution is to whitelist, but long term is probably harder. What kind of SCE, like MSDN newsletters, product updates, etc is in the corpus for the GA? Maybe seeding the corpus with a bigger set of these type of mails will have some interesting/useful results.
