I realize this question is probably best served by the sendmail mailing list,
but whereas I've added the Spam Assassin filter, I'm hoping to find a larger
community here that is running FreeBSD + sendmail + SpamAssassin who
have handled this, so I don't have to ask the question in 3 places :)

The issue I seem to be having is that messages are coming in, forged from my
domain, but sent to a valid user within my domain (e.g. from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) containing a virus attachment.

I had assumed that sendmail would be smart enough to look at the fqdn portion,
and see that the sender is not in fact from that domain at all (a quick
reverse/forward DNS lookup of the inbound socket should prove this), and trash
this.

Is there an easy way to shut this down? An example mail log entry (for 
reference)...
