I've been wondering about that too. You appear to have control of your entire domain and to be using your own mail server for outgoing mail, which is my situation. I've been thinking of adding a filter as early as possible in the process to reject any mail with a from address in my domain that is not sent using my smtp server. For now I only know how to make it a procmail recipe that comes before the call to spamc. I would like to make it happen in sendmail, but it is not a simple matter of configuring sendmail's access list to reject mail from my domain that arrives from another MTA: For example this message is going to be from me and will arrive from an sf.net server. As a procmail recipe it should be simple to check for the proper Received header and From header. This will require that I only use my own server for sending mail that is From my domain. I have never been anywhere I could not configure an MUA to do that, even if it meant setting up an ssh tunnel to my server. And there have been places where I had to use my SMTP server to prevent the local one from changing the From to my local account userid. Another possibility is to configure your MUA (or your SMTP server) to add a custom X-header such as X-BrianDowling and use it to bypass all spam filtering. It is not likely that any spammer will bother to notice that mail from you has that header and add it to their spam. -- sidney _______________________________________________________________ Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
