I've been thinking about this too. Suppose you had a company with 100 employees.
If you pick 5 people and use their combined preferences to flag messages as
ham/spam, would that be workable?
So, you would just flag a message, still send it through and leave it to the user's mua to
dispose of as it wishes.
Perhaps some kind of 'voting scheme' could be used (rather than a simple spam score
average).
I don't have enough people here to try this with, but I'd like to experiment with the idea.
