Blacklist the validating domain smallbusiness.com. Reject all email that has a *.mtx.*.smallbusiness.com record. Just as you would blacklist the sending IP for spamming. As with SPF, I expect this to be quite a lot easier than maintaining a blacklist of spamming IPs. If I'm wrong on that one point, this is useless. Would you still like more detail on what pieces of information I'm looking at, and where I'm getting them from? -- "Anarchy is based on the observation that since few are fit to rule themselves, even fewer are fit to rule others." -Edward Abbey http://www.ChaosReigns.com
