At the data stage you could use various additional spam identifying methods besides
ip, sender and recipient.

That's the nature of data stage acl's. But I think the possibility to

IMHO this would be a quite powerful feature and improves the dacl's. But
if someone doesn't need it, he stays with the racls.
