Forget SPF.  Why should any system accept mail for an unknown recipient
and then mail a bounce?  That's the primary cause of backscatter.  These
systems are just as likely to accept the message, then check SPF, and
mail a bounce :-)


This is getting off topic for the Cyrus list though.  The question
relevant to Cyrus, I thought, was whether a sieve filter can catch
backscatter.  With header-only tests, not so much.
