.... that analyzes and scores email addresses:

we have big companies that give their employees more or less random strings as 
email addresses
(but length will not be extremely long)
Otherwise we have email addresses that somehow are built from a person's name,
(e.g first.last, f.last, last17f or similar), and we have addresses that are a 
person's nick, or
otherwise relate to its hobby or profession. In rare cases someone would make 
an email
address from the name of some celebrity.
Now something that seems to be typical for spam are display names that look 
like a person's
name along with email addresses that look like a different person's name, and 
often seems
to belong to a different language.
The hypothhetical plugin would have to find out whether the mail addy looks 
like a name,
whether the display name looks like a name as well, and only in that case 
determine whether
the names have anything in common
