True, but there are very good reasons to verify these signatures via
milter-greylist:

* blacklist the forged sender addresses that say they are coming from gmail,
yahoo, etc when they are not

* when the spam actually comes from gmail/yahoo/etc farms, then it's easy to
report to gmail via reporting sites like spamcop, knujon, etc who report those
spams to gmail/yahoo/etc and get those accounts closed.

I report all my high scoring spams and real spams that a "normal" scoring via
these methods.

Regards,

Michael.
