It's impossible to tell the difference between "legitimate" traffic and unwanted traffic arriving from any mailer that's susceptible to theft of service attacks, and if you want to block lots of spam then you have to block all mail from such mailers. This is also the quickest and most effective way to really get the attention of the admins who control such mailers too, and in doing so put some pressure on them to fix their configurations! -- Greg A.
