Some ISP's appear to be doing a much better job at preventing
spam-through-official-SMTP-servers than they used to.  I just now noticed
that rr.com appears to be using Cloudmark on customer mail leaving their
official MTA's.  Looking through my logs, it appears very little of my spam
is coming from official rr.com MTA's these days.  This is a good sign.  Now
why can't Yahoo do this!? =)
