You're lucky that so much of your spam would be blocked by such a filter. A lot of the spam I get nowadays actually has my address in the To: line. Sometimes it's even disguised as a bounce message. > Ideally, it should return the offending mail to postmaster@* > (where * is the supposed 'from' address) to report the abuse, > and include a full copy of the original message including > headers (along with a nice terse little message regarding the > laws involved). Be very careful with any solution you implement. For the vast majority of spam, the From: address has nothing to do with the real sender or any open relay used. Complaining to the postmaster there just annoys a completely innocent person who's no doubt getting quite enough complaints from ignorant victims of the spammer. -- Keith C.
