We've been experimenting a PL (Private Listcode) methodology for these
scenarios. Specifically, all messages for a particular user (domain
usually) are blocked unless a PL code is present in the message. The
PL code is a random sequence of characters like a password. The group
that uses the code freely passes it around between them. Since no
spammer has the code it can't be abused. The code usually goes into a
signature. If the code becomes compromised then a new code is made up.

We usually create a PL code in Sniffer, but the methodology works
without it - In Declude you would use WHITELIST ANYWHERE plcode, and
block everything else.

Hope this helps,
_M
