Of course.  With the ability to 
1.  choose who you want to accept Mail NoCEM messages from
2.  have the ability to sort away killed messages into specific group
	(mail.edmonds.killed, eg.)
3.  protect certain groups (just in case)
4.  ignore any local addresses (as per the boss-mail example in the manual)
5.  ignore any addresses found on a white list (Hey, that's my
    former roommate in your global kill file!)

You would want to keep the terms simple though, let GroupLens handle
more complex scoring ...
