[Wine] list spam related question

Would it be possible to put something like DSPAM or Spamassasin in-line
on the forum, to evaluate the posts? My local DSPAM catches about 90% of
the spam from the forum with very few false positives. Just quarantining
the messages identified as spam and requiring them to be moderated would
not be a large number of messages and would remove much of the spam.

Also, I see a lot of "probe" posts - posts that are an attempt to see if
posting is possible and to build a post count before the spam run; posts
like "your blog is very informative and I have bookmarked it" or "very
useful information, thanks". Were there a way to flag such users as
potential future spammers we might be able to prevent the spam run from
ever happening.
