Apologies for original brevity, but my comment was a criticism of the proposal to start weighing *all* mail from a specific sender according to whether the IP was the 'most common' used for that address.... Essentially changing it from what you state above.
.... In this case, as I only send a half dozen messages per month from that account, the spammer would get the favored rating? Only if the spammer uses the same server that you do.
Again, you are describing "things as they are now", whereas I was citing a negative consequence of doing things differently....
