Hi All,
I'm trying to cut some of the SPAM coming in and quite a
few seem to use my own ip address as the supposed sender.
This is a typical (partial) header:

Received: from 150.101.179.78 ([61.11.75.19])
	by marvin.audiovisualdevices.com.au (8.11.6/8.11.6) with SMTP id 
h7L9w3t17997
	for <david at audiovisualdevices.com.au>; Thu, 21 Aug 2003 19:58:06 +1000
Received: from [67.163.77.108] by 150.101.179.78; Thu, 21 Aug 2003

The 150.101.179.78 is marvin's static ip address.
How can I reject mail like this? I tried putting
that ip address in /etc/mail/access but that does
not seem to have had any effect. Yes, I did do
the database re-build and re-start sendmail. Am I
on the right track?
