Len, I appreciate your response. I keep on learning things and that is good. While I 
could nitpick
about a few things, it wouldn't really do anybody any good, so I won't. Posting my 
numbers is also
not going to help anybody; suffice to say I am happy with them for my business, but 
would always
like to catch more spam.

I would like to comment briefly about this though:

For a business like mine, the collateral damage is two-sided. While it hopefully is a 
small step to
encourage the big network operators to mend their ways, it has the potential to really 
harm my
business. "This never happens with my ISP at home" or "my competitor got this mail, 
why didn't I?"
are phrases that I never want to hear again if I can help it.

So am I part of the problem by accepting mail from these sources?

Somehow we need to get some true Internet movers and shakers to declare that all email 
servers on
such-and-such a date should reject mail from all mailservers that don't have reverse 
DNS or have
problems a, b and c. If I knew that 90% of my competitors were doing the same thing, 
I'd be there in
a heartbeat. It would be great.
