Isn't any reverse-dns checking or anything like that done? Or would that or anything related to dns be ineffective against spam or spoofing?
Reverse dns seldom works - or not always. I know a number of bona fide business sites here whose rdns fails because the ISP doesn't mend it. They have fixed IPs for years, they have domain names, http server, mail servers, etc, but no reverse dns, it points to completely different name. Perhaps your part of the world is different. But nobody can force every ISP to fully comply with good standards. Very unfortunate. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
