We have started blocking noreply very recently. Looking back through the 
last 30 days not a single message we have received from noreply@* was 
ham. All told we have 120k to 250k connections in total a day (traffic 
has been very erratic lately with the zombies). Of those connections, 
10k to 12k are from local part addresses we have been blocking outright 
for several months now.
