at this point in the chain, ideally you'd reject the mail instead of delivering it to the user and triggering the autoresponder. ways to accomplish this include:

* SPF
* Spamdyke
* DomainKeys/DKIM

Hey Peter,

Are you running spamdyke? If not you really should be. It catches a ton of spam, and lightens the load on your server (the stuff it catches is not transmitted, so it's not scanned either).
