Alternatively, stick a magic hash signature in all your outgoing
message-ids, much as I currently do my reverse-paths. When you get a
message containing one of your own message-ids in its References:
header, you have a reasonable expectation that it's ham. And you can
then whitelist the sender address or the sending host or whatever you
choose to do.
