how about the smtp server simply rejecting mail from spoofed hosts ? as all the viruses generate spoofed hosts and it 
is very easy for any smtp server to do a dns lookup on the sending server, if the hostname / ip address do not match 
reject the message.


Finally some sanity marks this thread!

Thanks,

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
