Received a message with the following received header:

Received: from twitter.com (unknown [152.157.207.191])
        by mail.covisp.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3D796118B753
        for <kr...@kreme.com>; Mon, 22 Jun 2009 10:46:37 -0600 (MDT)

It was a virus payload containing a zip file with a .exe inside it (made to look like a pdf).

I got another nearly identical one claiming to be from hallmark ecards within a few minutes.

I know they aren't hitting the various unknown checks because they are claiming a valid looking name in the EHLO, but is there something I can do to drop these at the transaction phase? I searched my mailspool for all the IDs for "client=unknown" and then searched the maillog for those IDs grepping on the 'from=' line, printing them out and sorting them. I don't see anything in the maillogs for the last 31 days that is a legitimate email.

Is there anyway to, if not outright reject anyone whose DNS shows up as unknown to at least tempfail them with a "Ooops, your DNS is not resolving, try back later" or something?

Seems at least half the spam that gets by zen shows up as client=unknown

Ah we're lonely, we're romantic / and the cider's laced with acid /
        and the Holy Spirit's crying, Where's the beef? / And the moon
        is swimming naked / and the summer night is fragrant /
        with a mighty expectation of relief
