Have you received this type of spam since installing spamdyke? If so,
please post the headers from an example.
Have you modified the spamdyke configuration that qtp-install-spamdyke
installed?
If not, you might try enabling reject-ip-in-cc-rdns if that's feasible
for your use. See spamdyke documentation (http://spamdyke.org) for details.
If so, please post your spamdyke configuration.

hi
i have QTP with spamdyke implemented and running on my server
i read thru spamdyke configuration details but did not find anything
specific that will actually block spam mail with the "from" and "to"
address as the same but originating from a unknown server.
Can you point me as to which specific configuration will actually track
this and help me to block such mails?
by the way i found a spamassassin plugin that blocks emails where the
"mail from" different from the "reply to" which i am posting seperately
incase it is useful for somebody -- this blocks tons of email list spam
with minimal load on spamassassin.
thanks

Simply run the qtp-install-spamdyke script, and spamdyke will be
installed for you. Be sure to update to the current QTP before doing so,
as an older version of QTP might install an older version of spamdyke,
or the older QTP might not contain the qtp-install-spamdyke script at
all. See http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Spamdyke for more.
There is absolutely no harm in updating QTP. It is benign in and of
itself. It's only when you run some of the QTP tools that your QMT
configuration might change.
I hope that answers your question.

hi
in spamassassin i generally whitelist specific domains
whitelist_from_rcvd *[email protected] friendlydomain.com
whitelist_from_rcvd *[email protected] abc.friendlydomain.com
whitelist_from_rcvd *[email protected] xyz.friendlydomain.com
i know for sure that the emails from *[email protected] and coming
from
different ip addressess - friendlydomain.com, abc.friendlydomain.com
and
xyz.friendlydomain.com are good email
what i need to do is blacklist emails from *[email protected] if
they
are NOT from friendlydomain.com, abc.friendlydomain.com and
xyz.friendlydomain.com since i know for sure that emails from
*[email protected] will not originate from any other server.
is there is method for this ?
As Jake explained, no. Spamassassin won't catch this type of spam.
Use spamdyke. There is a script in qmailtoaster-plus
(http://qtp.qmailtoaster.com) that will install it for you. It will
lighten the load on your server as well.

FWIW, I have a user who does this periodically to save various
things,
so for me it's not spam.
Are you using spamdyke? I'd be surprised if spamdyke didn't catch the
emails in question.
