what is really stupid is to receive each day hundreds of virus
warning messages related to messages you never sent. Reject at
smtp time or eat you own stupid bounces.

idiots are not so idiots, blacklisting works better also
on sender addresses, sender domains and email content, so
you could sacrifice as many ip addreses as you like that
your stuopid bounces will always end been blacklisted, or
even better being bounced (sure you will like to receive
that bunch of bounced virus warnings)
