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?
