To block this type of spam I've increased the score of GB_HASHBL_BTC (Bitcoin 
rbl) rule.

Sendmail didn't introduce FEATURE(require_rdns) until 2007.  I'm sure I've been

It doesn't totally block the "I RECOVERED YOU" spams.   Occasional some come 
through with ip addresses that have valid reverse lookups.  But the number getting 
blocked, is still huge.

Marc - You are correct.  All the IP sources of this spam, don't a valid reverse 
lookup of the IP address, to an IP name.   That will solve my problem.  Thanks!

in other words your MTA is misconfigured

Do you at least verify the reverse lookup? That already stops a lot of such
