Have you verified none of the 2525 messages were non-spam?
Yes. Anyone using my domain name as their HELO name (2419 cases) is a virus
or spammer. And the same goes for the other 106 cases - anyone using my
customers domain name as their HELO name while sending from comcast.net is a
virus or spammer.
2525 were rejected because of HELO failing the SPF check. Of these,
2419 used a HELO with my own domain, and 106 used a HELO with other
domains. (So just rejecting your own domains from external servers
gets most of the benefit - but SPF generalizes the check and eliminates
a configuration item.)
