I'm thinking that SA might also benefit from a call-back plug-in that
looked at the MAIL-FROM and various 822 addresses, opened a connection to
the mail server for the domain[s], and verified the sender's address as
valid. This would actually be a fair bit of effort given all the stuff
that has to be done (MX and fall-back processing, connection management
within a time-limit, etc). I'm also aware that some people really dislike
these things. The real question it seems is the amount of spam something
like this might catch.

I've done some poking in google but can't seem to find trustworthy numbers
and experiences. Anybody got any thoughts here?
