  Ahhh.  The dream of mail admins everywhere.

  Someone else already posted a SpamAssassin rule.

  As I said before, just make sure you don't do SMTP rejects on anything
coming from your secondary MX.  Silently discard such spam.  Anything else,
and you backscatter the whole world.  That tends to double the spam problem.  
It can also get *you* marked as a spammer, since now your system is emitting
spam-like messages.

  Spam backscatter is as bad as spam.  Worse, in some ways.  Don't make 
things worse.

  Ben, who has been the victim of joe-jobs before.

  That's the way to do it, for sure, but the OP said he was using some third
party secondary MX service, which I expect won't give him the control he
wants.

score FROM_STARTS_WITH_NUMS +5 ?
If you really need 124ABC@ as valid, perhaps a rule like:
header FROM_IS_NUMSFrom =~ /^\d+\@/
describe FROM_IS_NUMS  From: from is nums
(untested)

If your using the milter, why not configure the secondary to use the
milter as well?  I do this with a different milter that I use. It's been a
while since I looked at it, but you could have them both use the same spamd as 
well.

Thanks, but no. What I want is to reject in sendmail. I don't even use 
procmail for spam processing since I'm using spamass-milter. The goal is 
to reject all spam before reception completes.
