The ones I've found useful fall into three main categories:
1. Blind Carbon Copy - I think these have already been mentioned.
2. Message-IDs - in my case I've used both Messenger Pro and Marcel,
so I have rules for both cases. The Messenger Pro rule just checks
for a fullstop before my username, while the Marcel rule looks for
the specific four characters that my copy of Marcel inserted.
delete to: = *.stuart@zedtoo*
delete to: = *mrua@zedtoo*
3. Faulty address harvesting - one of the "address swiping"
routines used by spammers accidentally(?) prepends the surname
in the victim's address book to the email address.
delete to: = *paintingstuart@zedtoo*
