If you do *recipient* verification as opposed to sender, why would

mechanism for spammers to have you do their work for them. Add to that
the fact that the from is always almost forged and what good is it?
Hardly seems worth it to me.

Actually I do recipient verification first. I do front ent spam
filtering and sometimes the people I do filtering for will verify
everything. On high spam domains I have had to require that they give me
a list of good email addresses so I can bounce at connect time.
