Do you mean that a spammer is sending out an email with your domain
('example.com') listed in the from, ie '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'?

Or do you mean that the spammer has a 'legitmate' From address
('spamdomain.com') whose MX records list example.com as its mail server?

If its the 2nd then you don't have much to worry about: qmail will
reject them as it isn't in your locals/rcpthosts file.

If its the first then that's called a "joe job" and you can look at the
qmail mailing list for some ideas:
