I'm trying to come up with a general purpose rule to deal with the 419'ers hiding behind Google mail. Below are the headers from a typical Google spam:
Return-path: <johnbasil005@torba.com>
Received: from ag-out-0708.google.com (72.14.246.240) by BKBUSA.COM (Mercury/32 v4.62) with ESMTP ID MG0000AD;

What I have in mind is a rule that checks for the presence of a Google mail server - ie:"Received: from ag-out-0708.google.com" and has a return address - ie: "Return-path: <johnbasil005@torba.com>" other than a @gmail.com address.
Has anyone written a rule similar to this? What works for you, other than blocking Google mail outright?
