(I run a similar service to postini, but smaller. Probably lots smaller!)

Other tests that are good for rejection:

    * Bogus Message-IDs.
      (Validate the header is present and you're 99% of the way there.)


    * Dialup range restrictions .
      (Guess you've got that covered already via DNSRBL)


    * Early-talker
      (Machines that send conversation before waiting for the banner.)


    * Make sure there is a Date: header.
      (I do range testing on that; but many spam mails don't have it
      c.f. message-id:)


    * HELO checks
      (I mostly look for helo $my_IP)


Hope that helps. Happy to provide more details on request; most of
my stuff is based upon qpsmtpd running ahead of exim4.
