Some of my accounts are getting some spam (what else is new on the
internet?).  However, the "from" addresses of these letters are not even
valid (as is with a lot of spam).  In a couple of cases they are, but I
question the letter actually came from the sender listed.

Is there something I can do in the sendmail.cf file or other configuration
change to drop these kinds of letters?  Other solutions?

I've thought of denying messages from free mail sites, but I imagine some
spam is from elsewhere.  I would think it is possible to ditch bulkmail, I
know that yahoo.com has a bulkmail folder -- and I heard yahoo runs
FreeBSD too :)  How are the letters discriminated from eachother as a bulk
versus a possible real one?
