Sendmail has a discard mailer, but the subject filter I have in place rejects messages, rather than discarding them. I suppose it could be written to use the discard mailer (but I am not a programmer), but why do you prefer to blackhole rather than rejecting the message? I could accept and then black hole messages from places that are attemptng to use me as an open relay also, but the usual practice is to just not allow it.
BTW, the rejected message is returned with the header unaltered so the question I had about the X-Spam-Status is moot I guess. However, I archive all bounced messages, and the archived copy does have the SA headers so I can still check for false positives if I get a complaint.
