I looked at TMDA, and it's the one that assumes the MUA and MTA are the 
same host, and that the user is sitting in front of it.  It's not easily 
remotely controllable, and I didn't want to expend the effort to add this 
to it.

That sounds like a reasonable approach.  False positives would then have a 
sporting chance of fixing themselves.  Of course, if you autoreply to all 
spam, it increases the traffic on the network, and confirms your address as 
deliverable, so while this may solve my personal problem, it doesn't scale 
at all well.
