   I had to go back to see what you meant by that, and found this:

I'm afraid that would not eliminate anywhere near 90% of my SPAM, and
worse, it would kill legitimate mail from some mailing lists.

I recently had a client try unsuccessfully to send me some work (I'm a
Japanese-to-English translator), and when I looked at some older mail
from that client I found that their mail was getting killed by the
SPAM filters I was using at the time, which killed this line:

     Received: from unknown

It turns out this kind of header can occur even in non-SPAM mail
depending on the server configuration.
