How will I reproduce this quickly?

I am not sure. If your resolver is BIND you can make dfleur.com (and as far as I can tell, nothing else but other spammer domains) yield SERVFAIL by adding this to the options section of named.conf:

blackhole {
        108.161.130.187;
};

Then (after running "rndc reconfig") you can test by trying to send mail claiming to be from any dfleur.com address, as I did.

I don't have a handy generic way to make a domain fail in this way. It does require a resolver failure.
