While we're on the topic of spam, I noticed at the ORBS site the
following comment:

  Admins may alternatively set their systems up to tag messages
  delivered from open servers as "possibly spam", or just log the
  connections.

While blocking mail using ORBS was a disaster for us, and we had to
back out of it, I am intrigued by the comment above. Has anybody
thought of a way to have Postfix tag such mail. I guess this falls
into the same thing as adding headers, which Postfix doesn't
currently do.

Hell, if it could just be logged somehow that would be better than
nothing. Then I could just have a periodic cron job that would send
nastygrams to sites that insisted on being irresponsible.

Oh well, just a thought.

Amos
