I would love to hear more about how (and why) you're using Plan9. I'm
naively curious.

I forgot about pre-greeting delay. I also use that. It's amazing how
much difference even 1 second makes.
I think it's also amazing how many spam bots try tricks to get around
spam filtering, like connecting to a high order MX that hypothetically
has less spam filtering. - JunkEmailFilter's Project Tarbaby does
phenomenal work with that. Plus, it feeds their RBL which I use as a
data signal for SpamAssassin. }:-)

Are you referring to the purported sender? Or something in your domain?
Are you referring to SMTP Authentication or email addresses?
I have disabled SMTP Authentication on my main MTA and only allow it on
my MSA.

Thankfully I've not had to deal with those. (At least not that I'm
aware of.)
