[Mimedefang] Interesting idea to hassle spammers

[Network Guy]

Hi

I see eMail from spammers coming in on ALL of the mx's for the same
message.  Doesn't seem to matter what preference is recorded.  Looks like 
they get the host.domain.names then send to all three ( in my case )

have fun and keep up the great work!
