The problem there is that the spammer can add it to the message
themselves.  If you get 2 of them in a message, which one do you
believe?  You'd have to resort to the received headers or log file.

If we put the originating IP in the RCP file, then it would be fairly
trivial to do a before plugin.  of the top of my head, a command file

     for /f %%a in (%1) do call :checkme %%a %3
     goto end
     :checkme
     findstr %1 %2
     if errorlevel 0 exit 4
     :end

using "passip.cmd config.dat" in filterb.plu.

I've been playing with a few of the unix filters.  I havent got any of
them to work yet.

It's crossed my mind a few times of adding a plugin system at key points
in smtprcv (initial connect, mail from, rcpt to, end data).  I'd like to
do it as DLL's for performance, but I guess I could be be compatible
with mfilter and just run the exe and respond to the result.
