That, and the other headers generated by the MTA(s) under your control are
the only ones which should be regarded as trusted.

Just ORDB?  Try the stuff we use at

Tends to keep a LOT of the slime and cockroaches out there from spamming
your network.

Especially the open proxy lists and the SBL (and/or SPEWS) for direct spam
sources.

Add to that a list of firewall blocks for those morons who are too dumb to
know or care what a 550 bounce means.

And to the OP in this thread: Header forging spammers, especially those
located stateside, are pretty much screwed, once someone in a state where
antispam laws are in force goes after them (WA, CA etc).  And no, that
isn't "advertising" by any stretch of the imagination.
