Is it possible? I've had nearly the same idea after these postings today and I've already begun to formulate such a concept (I'm not very fast writing in english :-) I think Andy's suggestion can be a very effective way to avoid fp's. Spammers have to respect a lot of things if they want to comply with all the requirements of this test. On the other side this test can reward a lot of mails from good maintained and configured mailservers. And the best of all: since all necessary DNS-requests are already available this test should be very resource friendly.
