Just sent a spam to our president. However it has legit

Here is a nice fresh one for UC :)
What IP address did it come from?????
If it's their own mail server, just block the mail server. Don't SURBL it.
So let me get this straight... He can't add it to SURBL because it has legit uses (which he's acknowledged), so you'd rather that he block their entire mail server including it's legit uses for all his users rather than build a list that could be used by SA to incrementally increase the spam score?
It depends on the goals of the greylisters. If they're using it to pressure marginal spammers into spamming less, that's fine, but again they're dealing with marginal spammers and not the hard core ones.
If they're trying to block messages, there are much more efficient ways to do that with sender IP or sender domain since most of the marginal spammers probably are not using zombies. The difference in efficiency for blocking is probably multiple orders of magnitude.
