    What's that good for? When the returned mail strips the magic key, what
    are you going to do? It could be legitimate or now -- you don't know,
    because the key is gone.

    Contact the operators of those mailers and ask them to reject invalid
    mail rather than taking it in and bouncing it.

    Educate them...

    know which blacklists not to use.
