I'd like to do something similar but using different criteria based on a list of approved sender addresses.
Have you looked at ASK (Active Spam Killer) and TMDA (Tagged Message Delivery Agent)? I have used ASK in the past, and required my spam to about 1 a week. TDMA was a bit over the top for what I wanted at the time, so I went with ASK, which takes all of about 5 minutes to setup.
One downside is that some people think an email saying 'I WILL NOT GET YOUR MESSAGE UNLESS YOU REPLY TO THIS - yadda yadda explination yadda' doesn't apply to them, or they get confused. In my opinion though, this is a good thing, I don't want to talk to people who can't understand that.
Happy Bank Holiday!

Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh! I tag all messages I receive from software like this as spam, and report it to SpamCop. So do many other mail-admins. The reason:-
1) Recent Windows viruses forge the from header. 2) My e-mail address may be the forged address. 3) ASK/TMDA/other similar crap will send ME an e-mail to confirm 4) I did NOT send you an e-mail 5) You have sent me an unsolicited e-mail - the definition of spam 6) Ergo, YOU are a spammer...welcome to /dev/null
