Filtering bogus Received lines

1997-09-15 14:07:41
Does anyone have a procmail recipie for catching spams by checking for
lines like:

Received: from spoofed.site (real.site.here [real.ip]) by mail.host.com

I'd like to be able to check if the 2nd level domain of what is claimed in
the HELO and that of what the relay actually reports as the hostname for
the sending host differ.  99% of spams I see have this characteristic.  I
can't figure out how to form a regexp to check for this, though.  Also,
does anyone know if it's possible to have procmail check to see if any
Received: lines appear after headers such as From, Message-Id, To, etc.?
Many spammers also make this mistake.
