The best way I've found to eliminate (yes, entirely) spoofed sender addresses is to blacklist local domains in spamdyke. This is counter intuitive, but it works nicely. There should be no email coming in to your QMT host claiming to be from your domains that is not coming from an authenticated sender. This requires that all your senders use your QMT host for submitting emails, but that's not usually a problem.

You have edited the log file, so I'm forced to suppose -- but most of
this kind of SPAM that *I* am seeing these days looks like this:

    From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>

The message APPEARS to be from "[email protected]", but that is actually
just the "text name" given to the FROM account.
The message then passes SPF because the sending host is listed as a
verified sender for the domain "source.ru" <or wherever it is coming from>.

If this isn't the issue, please advise. If you're not comfortable
posting the actual headers, please feel free to send them directly to me
(vs. the list) so I can see more clearly what is happening.

hi

mydomain.com email service on my server.

i recd a spam [email protected], from the spammer's server.

the mailfrom shows as :[email protected]

Return-Path:<[email protected]>

i use spf qmail spf check at level 2

logically Received-SPF is supposed to show as spf failed, however it is showing 
as pass.

is it because of the envelope sender, ie Return-Path header ?

could you please let me know what additional steps i need to take to prevent 
such spam with mailfrom as my own domain.
