The name of the file "badmailfrom" can be a bit deceptive as many
people think it applies to the "From: " header. In fact it applies to
the return path address supplied by the "MAIL FROM: " command in SMTP.

To use badmailfrom you have to use the address that shows up on that
SMTP command, which in the case of qmail is stored in the
"Return-Path: " header.

If you look at your headers you'll see the bad news that the
"Return-Path: " header is empty which means it's not blockable with
badmailfrom.

Bad luck. As you've probably gathered spam is a pain to minimize.


Regards.
