"Senders Name" <email@mydomain.com> 192.168.1.1 (comment) so it checks for not only email address but senders name and IP address as well. With those 3 checks in place it would be pretty darn hard for a spammer to fake it I would think.

But this would prevent legitimate mail from being sent - certainly I send mail from more than one IP address and smarthost. And sender names often do get faked. Putting in a call to spamassassin or similar in the rc.local files should probably deal with most of the problems. Roger
