As that is out of my hands, I would love to see if there is an option on

There is opensuse@xxxxxxxxxxxx and opensuse-de@xxxxxxxxxxxx mail lists
and few guys that know a lot about mail servers. The subject as above may
attract their attention.

I am aware of those lists.

I know that you are aware of them, but just to remind you that they can be
used too ;-)

However I do not see how this is a mail
server issue, unless the only option on my side is to change the
settings for postfix on localhost to accept everything.

Some of the guys on the lists are professional administrators and may have
solution.

The rest is basicaly bad configuration at my hoster.

According to
http://www.openspf.org/SPF_Received_Header and
http://www.openspf.org/SPF_Record_Syntax
their configuration seems to be OK.

Someone obviously found flaw in SPF that allows to send spam.
