There were no Received: headers in my samples. They were directly injected
by compromised Windows boxes.

Maybe the lack of Received: headers could be used as the basis for an SA rule. How many legit MTAs are there that don't add Received: headers? Hopefully none.

Unless you run submitted outbound mail through SpamAssassin, in which case you could expect a VERY high false positive rate. While SpamAssassin isn't fantastic for this particular role, it can help you catch compromised accounts/systems before they spew too much.

You could probably mitigate this with one of the "trusted" type lists that SpamAssassin uses though, if the rule were well written.
