That's because they're not configured properly, I would not expect Courier to show such behaviour. Most Windows-virusses use fake HELO's and From: addresses and those are easy to spot. If I had the time, I could easily write a perl-script to deal with these.
Just a side note: most of these na�ve mailservers aren�t na�ve, there just not updated or configured properly. But all together, it should be possible, because if I can do it by hand, a piece of software could do it automatically.
