Assume that you have a filter (say procmail or any other) that scans email
content.  How will you teach it to put it into a junk file?

The same stands for external programs spawned by Squid (if written in Perl).
If it is not already in dotted notation, then prior to every IP check the
program should convert any string to IP dot notation.  This could slow things
down.
