What exactly is a "bonded" sender and how does one become one?
Check the archives, or head over to www.bondedsender.com or www.bondedsender.org.
It's a DNS-based IP address whitelist. You sign up with them, agree not to send unsolicited mail from your servers, and post some money as a guarantee. They hang onto the bond, and for each spam complaint against you, they deduct money from it. As the complaints stack up, they remove you from the list as well.
The idea is that legit senders will have few complaints, but spammers will quickly lose all the money they put up.
SA uses it to deduct points, and there are rules/plugins on www.bondedsender.org that you can add to other programs (including sendmail, postfix, and qmail).
