I hope that no one was seriously considering that level of hardcoding.  
What we are almost certainly talking about is setting up a handler (I 
think Stephen estimated this to be around 10 lines of code).

I do think we'll want some related UI options so that list admins could 
do supervised learning as well, but since that's mostly a "mark this as 
spam" as an option other than just "reject this posting" (which could 
also indicate a duplicate or someone posting from a work address or 
whatever) and we should be able to generalize the hooks to send that 
information to whatever system(s) are in use.
