You will probably find that those delivery attempts tend to try the secondary mx first, if you have one. One way to harvest the known bad senders would be to set up one or more dummy backup MXes whose sole purpose is to run a greylisting spamd with greytrapping. The next step would then be a blacklisting-only spamd in front of your real MX using frequent dumps of your greytrapped IP addresses, likely supplemented by something like uatraps. Most likely not as effective as greylisting with greytrapping all around, but it would give you some of the benefits of greytrapping. - P -- Peter N. M.
