Eh? The Received line contains the originating site. Most spammers use
the standard null reply construct anyway. So knowing who they claim
to be adds little. For this message I got:
Received: from [203.63.54.90] (helo=mail.cantanker.net ident=postfix)
by slug.progsoc.uts.edu.au with esmtp (Exim 3.12 #1 (Debian)) id

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Thu, 26 Oct 2000 09:37:18 +1100 Received: by
mail.cantanker.net (Postfix, from userid 1000)
So were it spam I'd be sending email to someone @cantanker.net

It contains a URL to the reason why a machine is in the RBL.
