Somebody kick Robin in the shin, make him shut up...

Lars,  This is great stuff your're thinking about.  Your first and
second  post in this thread looks like a helluva good start in the
right direction.  With the simple key strokes and hooking into a
couple of those anti spam things.

Not all of us users are as (ahem) `sophisticated' as Robin :-).

I have 12 spam filter recipes in procmail that catch most stuff and
have been refined over mnths (but very casually).  It really is quite
an undertaking.  Complicated by list memberships etc.  

I think many of us would prefer this kind of functionality in gnus
rather than being pointed at dozens of applications or changes in
basic MTA. (qmail zealots suck - long live sendmail - long live exim)
           (Take that you knave (Robin).... he he)

(Asbesteos Long Johns duly trotted out)

I especially liked the add to white list thing.  A good way to easily
counter false hits.  With a setup like you described, I suspect it
would be only a matter of a few days before a user had a really good
and effective spam trap system in place.  All done with a  few key
strokes in gnus.  yes... yessss  Go Lars go!
