It's only SourceForge that I'm actually having trouble with - things like the Debian servers don't give me a problem since they have sufficiently good spam filtering for it to be rare for anything to get through which triggers the fairly lax SMTP time filtering I do.

I use MimeDefang, a milter that provides the full power, and horror, of perl. The solution is to treat the sourceforge server , Debian servers, etc. as valid forwarders (just like a non-owned backup MX): simply drop mails marked as virus/spam from these hosts - and only do rejects for directly submitted mail.
