Spam backscatter and joe-jobs (was: Since I'm feeling lucky ...)

[Bill McGonigle]

And perhaps the worst part of backscatter is that conscientious 
sysadmins who used to proactively read and deal with problems reported 
vis DSN messages now get thousands a day that are bogus, so they're 
just routed to /dev/null unless someone complains.

I wonder if there would be enough information in the headers of a DSN 
to compare bounce message-id's with actual sent message-id's (you'd 
have to keep a rolling database of them on send) to filter out the 
bogus DSN's...
