For a while this was a large source of my spam. So I now reject it in my MTA. That is really the better place to deal with this. I know this is the SA list but there is really no need to deal with this problem in SA as it should never have gotten this far. > Is there any way of avoiding this ??

I am not familiar with qmail so I am not sure what you are asking exactly. But if you can reject it there why wouldn't you? I use postfix and so my configuration to reject mail from a spoofed myself would not be useful to you. But that is my recommendation. Reject it as early as possible, it can't be a false positive, and don't worry about trying to handle it in SA.
