I currently use a custom sendmail rulesets to do access map lookups 
for the MX domain in the envelope from.  So any domain name in the
envelope from that has a MX host that I've noticed alot of spam domains using
gets rejected.



So all the spam emails that are received with a from address that has a MX host in the o2.pl
domain would get rejected. Not the best solution but so far it seems to work.
