That's an interesting idea!

AFAIK maildrop is only used for messages delivered locally. Global
filters filter any message, without actually knowing if it is going
to be forwarded to another server or not. (Probably one can just
check the relayclient enviroment variable to learn if that was the
sender's privilege, independently of the actual recipient(s) being
local or not.)

Another useful test would be to check if the sender address makes sense,
in order to prevent undesired pollution. Anyone knows if (which) big ISPs
implement such kind of policies? Is it as widespread as INGRES?
