Then fix it!

SMTP receivers should have the option of inserting a header line
instead of blocking "bad" Emails. Then other layers can decide what to
do with this Email.

I really would like to run "ORBS" on my incoming-mail-server. However
I find it unacceptable to be rejecting Email from possibly legitimate
clients. So Adding an "relay is listed on orbs" line would allow me to
sort this into a low priority "probably spam" mailbox, just like I'd
do with those tagged as such by LKML.

After adding the header line, you could easily make majordomo do
special stuff with this Email, but having the header line probably
makes that unneccesary.

If you're willing to pay a small amount to make this happen, or if
you're willing to earn a few bucks by implementing this, stop by:
