Excellent analysis!  Also we're pretty sure figuring out some way to
catch these inside SpamAssassin, automatically (ie. without the prior
rule-building) would be very nifty.

One thing though -- many SpamAssassin users won't have only 1 address
behind the scanner, so doing it beforehand based on the addr will limit it
a bit.   

We (Dan and I) were thinking that picking up the envelope-to and/or To:
addresses, and permuting those, would probably work pretty well to do
that.

(However, scanning for the domain part of an address would probably work
pretty well, and I notice you're picking that up.)

BTW quick bug report: entering my mail addr, unticking the "username" box,
and hitting Build Rules results in a few rules like this:

        rawbody W_ROT_2_L               //i

note that the empty pattern will hit every msg ;)
