I just got done parsing through about 450 pieces of spam and have an observation to share with SpamAssassin's developers in hopes that this will improve their ability to track this stuff.

I get a lot of mail from addresses like:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

and so on... where the username is randomly generated and modified, but the domain portion of the email is consistent.

I would think that this is something that you might use to identify domains that are very highly likely to deliver spam.

And I'm wondering if this domain pattern matching is something that could be done will with a bayesian statistical approach to add as a consideration to the scoring.
