I think you are preaching to the wrong crowd.
If you want to help lower your Spam from botnets look into the botnet
plugin. Here is his last announcement to this list last week:
For those who don't know what Botnet is, it's a plugin which tries to
identify whether or not the message has been submitted by a
botnet/spam-zombie type host by looking at its DNS characteristics (no
reverse DNS, reverse DNS that doesn't resolve, or doesn't resolve back
to the relay's IP, or reverse DNS that contains things that look like an
ISP's client address). The places I've been using it, and the people I
hear about who are using it, have seen a high degree of success.
