Dear list

I am trying to block spams that have the sender forged as a non existent
user in our domain but the recipient is a valid email address.

Sendmail is configured with LUSER_RELAY that has a list valid users -
returns "nouser User unknown" if user does not exist.

I have searched the web with no success.

Any pointers will be appreciated.

Thanks
Stephen Carr

Current config
Sendmail-8.14.3
MimeDefang-2.65
Spamassassin-3.2.5
DSPAM-3.6.8
