Yes, the exit on SPAM portion of the code will make this plugin unattractive to some people. I’ll look into the “check box” option as it definitely has some merit, but it’s not something I’m sure I want to do just yet.

I don’t know about the similarity of comments & e-mail either. There will be a good degree of crossover as e-mail spammers make their way into blog-land, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the two will line up well. I’ve been extremely happy with SpamAssassin’s ability to correctly tag an e-mail message and wanted to leverage that functionality in WordPress.
