Excellent. If you'd like to send me a method that takes a header and a
body, and returns 'true' if the message should be blocked, I'll
experiment with integrating it. At first, I'll simply have it add a
*SPAM* flag to the subject. That way we'll be able to see if it's
working, and at the same time you'll be able to avoid the messages you
find offensive.
