Of course!  The most obvious way to stop spam is to compare messages. 
 If you
get the same message to 10 different users, it is "obviously" spam, right?
Now, if they aren't idiots, they will set it up so messages from 
SourceForge,
Yahoo and MSN groups, etc. won't be included in this filter.  Oops, that
means they must be idiots (as Dave Barry would say "What a great name for
a rock band!)
