This tempts me to hack something into Exim that does a whois on previously-unseen sender domains, and give a deferral if the whois denies existence of the domain. Is this likely to have any meaningful effect? -- Just last week, someone called every morning to speak to President Gore. By Friday, the operator was flustered, and finally snapped, "You call every day asking that, and every day I tell you that Mr. Gore lost the election. Why?" "I just like hearing that. It's a great start for the day!"
