CRM-114 customization for chocolate?

Hi,

I know that this message itself verges on spam, but I hope that I've 
directed it enough and that it is quirky enough to hit most people's 
'I'll let that slide/that interests me' filter :)

I have a CRM-114 customization/feature request, and I was wondering 
if I could trade one of my peak skills (chocolate) for work that I 
could do only slowly and poorly (CMR114 coding).

I have been using CRM-114 for about a year now, for my own personal 
e-mail, first running on a blog standard linux box, then running in 
linux environment inside of a 'virtualbox'.  I use mailreaver and 
training via the e-mail interface.  So far this has been working quite well.

What I have noticed is that a significant portion of my (somewhat) 
desired 'solicited commercial e-mail' looks one hell of a lot like 
UCE.  Which makes sense; very often the key difference between spam 
and proper sales e-mail is consent.  When I train the desired stuff 
as good, it makes the undesired stuff look good as 
well.  Additionally, while I actually want to see the desired stuff, 
I don't need to look at it as urgently as non-bulk mail.

What I would like to have is a mailreaver type system that classifies 
messages into several categories, eg. personal messages, work 
messages, desired commercial messages, etc. and spam.  In this way I 
could handle the desired commercial messages at my own convenience 
(rather than having them interrupt my thoughts when they randomly 
show up).  Also spam/desired commercial errors would be much less 
bothersome.  I can think of a couple of different ways of doing this 
(including maintaining a whitelist of desired commercial senders, and 
flagging all undesired commercial e-mail as spam, or running a 
cascade of standard mailreaver filters; first separating commercial 
e-mail from everything else, and then dividing commercial e-mail into 
good and bad).  However I presume others have thought about more 
generalized classification of messages, and I realize than in the 
time I could implement this, someone more directly skilled could do 
10x the product at much higher quality.

My skills are electric motors and chocolate (I believe that WSY has 
had the chocolate; if not we have mutual friends who can attest to my 
skills); is anyone interested in a trade?

Thanks,
Jon Edelson

(P.S. I attempted to send a similar message months ago, and never so 
it in the digest nor got an error...if it managed to get through then 
I apologize for the double post.)
