>Say it takes a few hundred identical spammy emails to trigger a filter

Wait, is this really the way how spam filters work? All I need to do is to add a random number to all emails to bypass spam filters?

In essence this is one of the principles, the thing is the emails don't need to be perfectly identical, just identical-ish with the identicalish matching implementation being not public (as this would immediately lead to spammers adding just enough randomness to whatever they are sending)
