Summary: Feature req: Classify as "daemon" message

Initial Comment:
Feature request: Add classification "Daemon"

I'd like to propose one more category to the Bogofilter's 
detection. This is based on assumption, that the 
statistical analysys can determine the type of mail 
according to the content of the mail trained. If this is 
incorrect, please ignore this request.

There is one type of mail that is also increasing, not just 
the amount of spam, but the amount of "alerts" or other 
programs that send automatic messages. These include:

- Virus scanner programs
- Worm scanner programs
- Illegal content detection programs (file extentions..)
- MDA errors (mail returned to user, that did not send 
them / due to spam forged headers)

Unfortunately there are many, many virus programs that 
think it is good idea to "notify" user with email that the 
mail contained a virus, worm, illegal content ... but that 
is only increasing the load of unnecessary mail. This 
combined to the other forged headers and "mailbox full" 
messages that are directly related to it, the MDA's itself 
increase the load of unnecessary email against their 
intention.

From this long introduction, I liked to draw attention that 
there migh be a good need to classify one type of mail as 
"daemon", instead of current possibilities in bogofilter: 
Spam, Ham, Unsure.

If there were new option to train bogofilter to see 
daemon messages, these could be feed to it:

   bogofilter --daemon < daemon.mbox

And the header could show a possible classification
in addition to the usual spammicity probability.

   X-Bogocity: Daemon, spammicity ....
                   =======

Please consider.
