Wow, then I guess I am lucky to have a boss that doesn't ask me to do 
foolish things or waste my time.  8-)

You can tune a spam filter til the cows come home, but I just think it's 
idiotic to accept mail from any server where the admin isn't on the ball 
enough to even properly set up the DNS.  And if it's the ISP's fault, 
then that admin should pick a non-braindead ISP.

And the honourary Don Quixote award goes to......
