The spammer is always using an empty from field and the spammer is obviously trying lots of different combinations just to see if it will match. I read on the sendmail.org site that there is a workaround to prevent spammers do this in 8.12.6.
My question is, where should I put this in in my proto.m4 file? The file is rather large and I really don't know where.

Also, there are 2 proto.m4 files:
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/proto.m4 /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/m4/proto.m4
Which one should I edit & use?
When I'm compiling up a new sendmail.cf file I do this:
cp /etc/mail/sendmail.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.orig cd /usr/src/etc/sendmail cp freebsd.mc freebsd.mc.orig [edit freebsd.mc] make freebsd.cf make freebsd.cf install cd /usr/obj/usr/src/etc/sendmail/ cp freebsd.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf killall -1 sendmail
Thanks! /Andreas
