Most small companies now use a spam appliance, like the Barracuda box we

I get a constant stream of spam from barracudas.  Like this, only several
times a minute:

('12.17.223.118', 41374) EXTERNAL
2007Jan27 00:57:29 [399] hello from den-barracuda.affinitygroup.com

neither permitted nor denied by domain of den-barracuda.affinitygroup.com) 
client_ip=12.17.223.118; helo=den-barracuda.affinitygroup.com; 
receiver=mail.bmsi.com; identity=helo
2007Jan27 00:57:29 [399] X-Guessed-SPF: neutral
2007Jan27 00:57:29 [399] rcpt to <rkmna(_at_)bmsaix(_dot_)bmsi(_dot_)com> ()
2007Jan27 00:57:29 [399] REJECT: bounce with no SRS encoding

The only good thing is that they have *finally* started using real
DSNs instead of replies, so at least I am rejecting them in SMTP
envelope now.  I would actually be impressed if they checked SPF and
rejected SPF FAIL.  (Although maybe that is a config option, and I
just never see mail from boxes that are configured that way.)
