They say much about which ISPs are connecting to the MX server to deliver
the spam. I have been quite effective at keeping spam out of my Inbox by
paying attention to those headers. And, with my own MTA, I can even keep the
spam off of my server. So, no. I will not forget it.

Hmmm. But I think I might just add "rr.blackholes.us" to my DNSBL checks!
