Again, if you are going to do distributed spam detection (as opposed

look at mail bodies.

You're right.  But I took a look at the DCC checksum.  It's
very easy to fool.  Add a few words here or there in the body and
DCC is toast.  However, that doesn't mean DCC is useless; on the
contrary, it's extremely valuable to catch the spammers who don't
evade it.

Adding a clearing-house for bounced messages is simply one more indicator.
You can integrate it into your SpamAssassin rule set with a score that
makes you comfortable, just as right now SpamAssassin can use DCC, Razor,
etc.
