What rfc states this? It isn't. Why would a mta do that if it doesn't
know where it's coming from?

I guess qmail is not a legitimate mta then :).

Yes, but there's always rbl which makes you devnull it before it reaches
the queue. After that, there's SA which almost catches the rest. If
you're still not happy, install a c/r system like tmda.

Let's move to pm before a moderator tells us to do so without putting
MOD in the Subjec: line :).
