I have over 9300 instances of empty "from" lines so far this week, for
example:

class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<VIEQUES>, proto=SMTP, daemon=MTA,
relay=pool-151-197-121-196.phil.east.verizon.net [151.197.121.196]
These messages turn out to be like this:

Subject: [SPAM (29.3)] Re: hi hi
As you can see, spamassassin takes care of it pretty well, but if I can
block the emails before the MTA, I should be better off, right? Anyone have
any thoughts?
Lucky you, I'm getting about 500K an hour. We had to install 4 new
front end mta's to handle the load. All bounces from major ISP's that
accept then bounce later (It's a huge spam job using our domain as the
from address).
Not much you can do about it really except live with it.
