Spam–filter algorithm rule.

I have observed that behind the spammers almost plausible senders name the underlying sending email address is far more complicated. Because the lists of barred email addresses continued to grow each spam address is only short lived so thousands are machine generated.

My rule: If an email address has truly random characters it is spam.

So spam filters should just pass the fields of email addresses through a password strength test. If the result is strong it should be labelled as spam. (They might like to add a pile of Polish names to the trusted list.)
