No Matthew what I resist is your sometimes arrogant, unconsidered
"oneliners" (in your original post) responses on the list. As I said
before "don't believe me then do a seach on MBM on the list". That's the
proof.
I will also point you to what I said in one of my following posts:

i.e. I will agree with logical points raised regardless of the source
(even you), not clueless statements.
Also seeing as you still haven't thought it through fully I will point
out the following - for some DNSBL's like dynablocks & open relays & our
own blacklists we may still will want to and may *need* to do bounces. If
a company is sending us mail from a host which is on dynamic ADSL
connection (increasingly happening) and we are refusing it then they need
to know. So it's not as simplistic as you say.
Anyway that _once_again_ *completely digresses* from the original
*technical* point I raised. Yes I have heard that Spamassassin will do
something - good. Perhaps though (seeing as we don't use it) I don't want
to install a complete system like Spamassassin for this specific task.
That's why I was looking at local scan.
