I have a pair of MX servers before my MS box and since SA goes through
all the received headers it doesn't matter to me when it comes to detect
spam but I use MailStats (now called Vispan) and it has a cool feature
that shows the origin of spam by checking the IP address of the sending
server. In my case that means all my spam seems to come from Sweden. ;-)

Would that be fixed by this patch? If so, I'm interested in a Sendmail
version.
