That to is an interesting idea. As to signature - I think jast the combo
of the from address and host is sufficient.

The idea is cindy@??? does a lot of business with xyz.com who I
host. I have never received a spam from cindy@??? from that host. So
the idea is that after a few good email scoring below -2 the system gets
to know cindy@??? and her email are blessed for a time. Every know
and then her messages are checked but say 90% of her email get through
without checking - that's the goal.

On the spam side I get rid of 90% of spam without having to look at
content with SA and I can process 10 times as much email per computer as
I could if I had to look at every message. Now it's time to increase
capacity further by reducing load. My loading now isn't from processing
spam - but processing ham.
