You should be able to mark Messages as Junk so that Mozilla generates a unique
hash from parts of the message. It sould then send the hash or the complete
message to a server. 
The user of any mozilla client should be able to choose If he want to use this
technology. That mozilla, everytime it downloads some E-Mail compares that
E-Mails with the stuff many users have marked as Junk and doesn't download it if
the test says it is Junk.

Perhaps it is difficult to implement, but Spam is characterized by sending en
masse. Maybe that there exist some encoding thechniques that able to encode some
Parts of a message that it is uniquely characterized and can be compared fast
enough.
