Like I said. About 80% of the spam we receive is null sender.
And, also like I said, I'm not spending a buttload of money on some spam
filtering software.
If there were a free option that worked reasonably well, I would probably
consider it. But, at the moment, the Open Source stuff isn't up to the
level of quality I would like.

# I've just checked some of our spamtraps from 05/01/2001 through
# today. During that time, we received just 1 spam (going to 4 of our
# spamtraps) using the NULL sender. That's well under 1% of all the spam
# that we get.
#
# Is it worth breaking the RFCs, losing E-mail, and getting postmasters mad
# enough to block you mail, in order to reduce less than 1% of spam?

#
# For that, you may want to use IMail's built-in filters. Or, if
# you want to
# get really tough on spam, you could use our software (the one
# spam that was
# sent from <> failed 2 of the Declude tests).

# Remember, too, that you are letting these criminals take away
# your ability
# to know that mail you send is not delivered.
#
# I do find the porno spam to be the worst, as there are about 1 *billion*
# porno spams a year sent to children. So I can certainly sympathize.
