You might want to consider instituting a HELO-no-dots reject at SMTP
time on your MTA. That rejects a _ton_ of garbage here.
The spans do look suspicious, I'm putting a rule into my sandbox...

What are using to filter on HELO-no-dots? I've looked at milter-regex,
but I can't get it to build on my slackware 12 system.
Thanks,
Rick
