Not true any longer. The joe job I've been suffering from the last
month has forged Received: headers that makes the spam appear to have
been sent from my MX to the bot that actually originated it. After 
all, how hard is it to look up the MX for the domain you're forging as 
the sender?

I you want to filter you'd need to keep a history of all the
Message-ID values your MTA had processed and compare to that.
