The source of the spam is 220.201.80.37, it's spoofing the hostname portion as 67.66.xxx.x which is the IP of my mx. Is there any way to configure Sendmail that, in this example, if it recieves connection that has the hostname field of 67.66.xxx.x. and it doesn't resolve back to the ip 220.201.80.37, to reject the message? -- Micheal Patterson TSG Network Administration 405-917-0600 Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
