I'm starting to see spammers setting up their MX record to be 127.0.0.1 which is causing havok on sendmail and ultimatly the solaris system itself as sendmail tries to continue to deliver the spammers undeliverable messages to itself.
Does anyone have any ideas in regards to having sendmail check the MX record of a message and if that MX record equates to 127.0.0.1, drop the message?

Thanks,
Randy
 
Sendmail doesn't do this .. your LDA (e.g procmail) does.
