It's been requested a number of times. The problem is that most spam comes
from either invalid or (worse) forged addresses. Sending a NDN isn't going
to get to the people you want it to get to.

The only real way to do this is at SMTP time - you bounce the message as 
soon as it's received. Spambayes isn't really designed for this as yet
(although some people are working on the problem...)
