   Obvious fix for this: procmail with a whitelist:

   - Allow friends and family in by default:
    ^From.*timt.org|\
    ^From.*debian.org}\
     $DEFAULT

   - Anything else that contains html goes to the spam-trap
#
#  'Content-type: text/html'
#
:0 B
* ^Content-type: text/html
{
  :0
  { RULE="text/html content" }
  :0
  spam-filtered
}

   Works a treat, and has the added benefit of plausible
   deniability.. (No auntie, didn't see your email.. oh yes, there it
   is in the spamtrap... )
