a) Anomy is not an antispam tool.

b) Lots does, the false positive rate on such a check is so high
that it's virtually useless for classifying spam.
This might be useful to help recognize non-spam (to offset false
positives caused by other heuristics in anti-spam software), but
that's a slightly different problem... and has nothing to do with
Anomy.
