Well Since a sender address is uniquely tied to the address sending you the email you only need to look at who sent you the offending email to know who to blame. For example if you generate a sender address for [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it came out as [EMAIL PROTECTED] then you could only receive mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at that address. To check this out generate a sender address either with tmda-address or through tmda-cgi, then check it with tmda-check-address or through tmda-cgi. You'll see that you can't use any sender other then the one that matches the cryptographic hash in the generated address. So if someone is abusing the sender address you gave them, just put that senders email address in your blacklist.
