While we're on some statistics:
I use the patch that denies MAIL FROM when the domain cannot be
resolved. I have modified tha patch a bit so it logs the denial and
the reason. I have grepped though the logfiles of one of our servers of
the last couple of days and counted the number of lines that contain
"tcpcontrol: ok" (still using and elder version; this should give a
fairly good approximation on injected mails via smtp), the number of
lines with permanent DNS rejects (address doesn't have an A or MX record
or does not exists). "soft" rejects (server errors, not auth) are not
included. The last column is the number of rejects due to MAPS rbl
(I'm using only this one).
