Well there is a name for those, its starts with a b. its used in spam

Bayesian filtering... its also used by the internal spam filter in
thunderbird... So each time you mark or unmark an email as spam it
learns what you think of as spam.



Also used in Pegasus Mail
Just drop a few offending emails into the spam folder and it starts
learning to automatically filter future occurrences. If you find that it
is incorrectly filtering similar emails just drag them out of the spam
folder and the learning process learns not to filter them. I find that
it works very well.
