But if you flood the filter with thousands of "unrelated" spam, it 
will still take 9 months for it to learn the specifics for you 
anyway.  If not longer, since there's now much more noise in the 
system.

I know, this assumes that your spam is somehow different than what 
the rest of us get.  That seems unlikely... except if you're only 
seeing six pieces of spam per day it may be true.  I see about 
that much in an hour... after dropping about half of the traffic 
because the sender has no A or MX records.
