Of course, when we helpfully reject spam or malware addressed to one
of our users, which has its sender address faked as our postmaster,
then the offering site is inclined to report the non-delivery to its
envelope-sender, namely and to whit, our postmaster address - which
side-steps most of the defences in order to conform with the RFC
mandates.

So then we have yet another IP to add to the sites that have abused
our postmaster address. And so it goes on.
