The following was recently posted on the SA-talk list.  This is approximately 
the 5th time this exact topic has come up in the last three days:

----------
Hi,

I've been getting a few spams lately that appear to come from my own
email address, and as I've whitelisted our email domain name, they come
through.

Should I remove our domain from the whitelist? Is there some other way
to combat this problem?
----------

SA should have some sort of stock rule to detect a forged "my domain" sender.  
This probably would require some configuration option the user would have to 
set up, I suppose, to identify the local domain.

I realize there is an argument about 'is SA a spam scanner or a forgery 
scanner'; however, in this case in is well known the two are tied closely 
together.  Thus, it seems like an appropriate stock rule to have from either 
viewpoint.
