David,

Thanks for the tip!  I just looked at my logs and I have quite a few
spammers using my IP as the HELO.  None use the host name -- hmmmm.

Incidentally, I've been trying various anti-spam techniques on my
mailserver, and collected statistics on the results.  I have a
presentation on what worked best and what didn't here:

Thanks for the info!
