I've seen that "sort-by" offering on a "10-bazillion addys on cd" spam...
darn thoughtful, I'd say.
Identical mssgs aren't something that's monitored, methinks, or they
would kill spam in its tracks.
ummm.. doesn't yahoo-mail come pretty close ? the process shouldn't be
much different than virus-checking.
Dictionary: To my thinking, an "alphabet-soup @ list-of-isp-dot-com", no?
of course, not always. ymmd.

the ISP.)
