Wouldn't spamprobe take care of that already by inspecting the From
line (or From: header) and Received: header?

By the way: Does spamprobe scan the From line (first line of a mail
containing the envelope FROM and the reception date) or the From:
header? Or both? The database seems to only contain one kind of from
(terms starting with "Hfrom_").
