Damon, can you to estimate how long those addresses you send a 550 from, do 
keep clean? If so, we have a direct prof that some spammers do try to make 
their handling more effective and all antispam  software might return a 550 
message on spams, independent of blocking method. It depens on how regular 
this is, have you identified which servers (not sender addresses) that react 
in this way, indicating they are in control of a spammer? Is it a larg 
number of servers or a minor number?
