>It is technically possible, if you don't have a decent firewall (or
have a decent firewall and a spammer that knows the "safe" IPs that you
allow mail from). However, with a decent firewall, the chances are
extremely slim that this would occur.  IP spoofing requires quite a bit
of knowledge, and in any case the spammer would have no idea when you
started blocking their spam.  So it would only be useful for spammers in
rare cases.
