That would be a very, very nice feature. What mail servers do this?

Yeah, that would stop spammers. But try convincing your users to always use the WebMail interface to send mail.

We've been through this, and what I find most amazing is the lack of client compliance on this feature, especially on the Mac side. And you're right, trying to instruct them on the configuration is frustrating at best.
