To be honest, I am willing to take the risk to block the spam. The owners
of the company I work for are extremely offended by graphic "Enlarge your
penis" e-mails and such. And, since it seems, mostly the pornographic
spammers are the main ones that use the null sender mail blasters, it's
worth it to avoid the aggravation.

# We have turned this on several times only to see listserver
# emails blocked that were legitimate emails. We liked the spam
# that was blocked, but along with it we found tons of emails
# in our log that were legitimate listserver emails. At first
# we thought this was all spam, but upon closer look we found that
# many listserver or newsbot emails have null senders, including
# many from the likes of ZDNet and other major news organizations.
# So look closely, with null senders on, you may be blocking
# legitimate mail.
