check greylisting.org. there's a list of ``misbehaving mailers'' you can consider starting with. you'll need to create whitelists for these addresses to shunt them around spamd. note that this list calls it's contents ``misbehaving mailers''. some of these addresses may be just that, while others may be ranges that use pools of ip addresses for sending mail. there was once a script that was posted here that basically takes the output of a site's SPF records and creates pf tables to be used as a whitelist: dig TXT _spf.google.com. +short for example. now anytime i see a domain i know i've heard from before, i suspect a round-robining smtp send pool and just query that SPF record to create a whitelist entry for it.
