I think it could be a valuable resource. Pure generic spam that goes to a 
honeytrap could provide a core set of words for a spamlist database.

Need to sort out the mechanics of sharing the wordlist though
Probably needs to be in exported bogoutil format on some known server.

And we might want to merge it with existing client  wordlists to construct 
a local spamlist database.

Plus we would need periodic update of the client databases 
(cron job? another bogoutility? )

Or could bogofilter use a remote mounted spamlist database?
