This sounds interesting, well worth inclusion into TLDP.
I would propose that you extend filtering to include the
growing epidemic of "virus warnings" from clueless sites
claiming you sent them a virus when the from address was
autogenerated by the worm by harvesting addresses from
the disk at the infected host.
Currently I receive about 200 spams and about 10 bogus
viral warnings per day and still increasing.
