All of the @pidgin.im emails I send are routed through the MTA on my
local machine, because that's how Unix email works.  If there's a
trivial way to send email "from" @pidgin.im through rock/imperial (but
not email "from" other addresses, and without breaking local delivery)
in Postfix, I'm happy to use it, but this is yet another spam
"solution" that doesn't really do anything but break machines that are
doing reasonable things -- without, of course, actually combatting
spam in any meaningful way.
