Time will tell, but for now I'm convinced I'm right.  It's not like 
spammy to pass up a new trick with so many plusses.

· "legitimate" relaying from servers that are otherwise "clean".
· recipients anxiously opening "Mail Delivery Failure" notices.
· Zilch SC reports and probably reduced numbers of reports form
   recipients that don't use SC.
· more (which I won't mention - no need to give spammy any ideas).
