I looked into doing that yesterday.
I can block email with that string now but it would give a generic "You've
sent spam" response which I think would be confusing to the hapless user
who thinks they've done something wonderful by following the official
installation instructions.
So, if I really want to do this, I have to be able to block it and provide
a custom bounce message. Of course, experience shows that people don't
read this kind of thing but at least it would allow me to say "look at
the text of the bounce message" when they whine about being unable to
send email.
