    I've noticed that in most of the spam that makes it through the sender
    uses a from address of something legitimate like aol.com or msn.com or
    whatever. I already block email if the domain doesn't exist at all. Can
    anyone tell me if it's possible (any prefereably how) to have sendmail
    reject the connection if the from address is aol.com but the mail server
    isn't aol.com (likewise for msn, yahoo, etc.).
