NO, damnit.  Just because people submit mail through arbitrary servers
does not mean they do so from a nomadic host.

So basically you don't like this because it requires ongoing maintenance
which conflicts with your overly liberal network policy. Swell.

Let's apply some analysis here. Would this fix be any worse than the
policy changes you instituted as a result of getting listed in ORBS? In
retrospect, was that change so dramatic that you would reverse it, given
the chance to do so?

Can you think of another fix that would be easy for you?
