The feature would be useless for me as we receive messages from Asia: India,
China, etc.

We also have personal messages coming from night owls and early birds.

True, but if his morning is the same as most of his valid sender's mornings,
this could potentially be useful.  Most employees at most
9-5 jobs won't be sending email at 3am.  Spammers, OTOH, send out a fairly
constant barrage 24/7.  So the relative probability of an email received at
3am being spam is a lot higher than at 3pm.

This obviously won't work for mail servers that don't follow a fairly
predictable time-use pattern, but it may be useful for those that do.
