Hello everyone,

Recently I received this spam:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=3.0 required=5.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00,HTML_MESSAGE,
 HTML_OBFUSCATE_20_30,MIME_HTML_ONLY,OBFUSCATING_COMMENT,UNPARSEABLE_RELAY
 autolearn=no version=3.2.0
Received: from oldieszuhause.de ([212.227.100.209]:60637)
 by da2.domeny.com with esmtp (Exim 4.67)
 (envelope-from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)

Obviously, envelope-from address is faked. This got me thinking - 
suppose we used following algorithm:

1. Get revdns name for incoming IP.

2. Extract domain from envelope-from address. Remove leftmost subdomain 
(radca.lex.pl -> lex.pl) (this is done for sake of large email providers 
who send mail from hosts that are not their MXes, smth like 
smtp43.someprovider.com for outgoing mail and smtp.someprovider.com for 
incoming mail)

3. If string 2 doesn't contain string 1 (revdns name), the domain is 
faked and this could be used for things like increasing SA score or 
doing fakereject in Exim.

Could this work? Pros? Cons?
