That's an important fact. One of my most active traps frequently will 
get 3 identical-body spams via 3 different cracked-host routes in under 
5 hours when one of my pet spammers (mostly offering office products in 
German) switches their content substantially. Feeding those straight to 
Bayes means that the ~100 additional copies for real users get rejected 
no matter which path they arrive by.
