So called "sender address verification" is supported by some MTAs such
as Postfix, and I expect more as this becomes more of a problem,
especially since it's trivial to implement.

In any event, TMDA provides this ability via the included
`smtp-check-sender' script.

These numbers come at a high price though -- my time.  TMDA is
significantly less time consuming than maintaining content filters.

One thing you'll have to accept is that trying to hide or revoke the
technology is not going to work.  Why?  Because C/R works.  If I
decided to terminate the TMDA project tomorrow, nothing would change.
The knowledge is already out there.  You might as well just try to 
make positive contributions to the technology.
