Excellent work on this Shawn.  That REJECT logic makes a lot of sense.

I don't use the MailScanner white/black lists since they are vulnerable 
to spoofing.  I use the SA whitelist_auth, whitelist_spf, 
whitelist_dkim, and whitelist_from_rcvd (when no SPF) entries since they 
can limit the exposure to spoofing.

I don't know how you do this with all of the "back to school" work at 
your day job.  You must really have things under control and well 
managed at your school district or you only sleep about 2 hours a night.  :)
