I'm using BATV for some servers already. The problem is (afaik), it only works when the server is used for receiving AND sending mails (because a "secret" is added while sending mail which in turn is filtered when getting the bounce). So it doesn't work for servers that "just" do spam filtering for incoming mails (like backup MXs or some UCE filters)... Steffen, thanks for the tip.

I'm thinking about using BATV for senders listed in backscatterer.org. One problem that still remains is that BATV can only be applied to mails that can be clearly identified as bounces (i.e. have an empty envelope sender address). Backscatter from challange/response systems or out-of-office replies typically do not fall into this category.
