For those running Postfix, I cannot recommend policyd-weight highly enough. 
It gets rid of about 80% of the spam *and* viruses *and* phishing scams 
before they ever reach the MTA.  It's a fantastic program that has almost a 
zero false-positive rate.  I use it on two internet-facing MTAs, and it's a 
lifesaver.  It reduce my workload tremendously.

Its purpose is to reject *all* mail from bogus MTAs - dialups, 
misconifigured servers, MTAs that aren't registered in the domains' DNS as 
a "legal" MX, MTAs that don't reverse properly, etc., etc.  If the email is 
forged in any way, it will never make it to DATA.
