I just fixed a problem like this. I checked my headers, and the email was spf approved from google. I had included google so I could get some mail forwarded by them back awhile ago, but it's not worth getting this spam.  Someone has figured a way to use gmail to spam from their servers, looks like to me.

 spf=pass smtp.mailfrom=gmail.com;

I removed google from my spf line, and it's helped.

I am suddenly getting hammered by a BUNCH of spam that appears to be from me. It scores low, and even though I keep feeding it to Bayes, it's still not hitting the threshold to be marked as spam.

When I check the headers, it's coming from multiple random email servers, but many appear to originate from hotmail/outlook.com. So from outlook.com, through some unsecured email server, then to my server.

I'm trying to figure out how to block this stuff. Something like "if it appears to come from me, but it's not actually coming from my email server," block it. I don't necessarily think this is a job for SA, but if there's a rule I can tweak or a setting I can change, I'm all ears.

Thanks,
Thomas
