Spamassassin and self addressed spam!

[gigi]

Hallo, is there anything I can do to reduce the spam coming with my own address?
Lot's of customers are complaining about the huge ammount of self-addressed spam which has dramatically raised during the last period.

Any config to do in spamassassin ? Something else?

Thanks

You can, perhaps by a ruleset in SpamAssassin. I've never implemented it in SpamBlocker because then I couldn't send myself an email (for example when travelling and using a different mailserver). I often do that when travelling, to remind me to do something when I get back to the office.

Hi!

I also have the same problem. I only receive spam from my own domain. I dont have it on any of the whitelist files of exim. Any hint on what rules could be applied to spamassassin to prevent this?

This is not necessarily recommended for the reasons that Jeff gave above but if you really want to do it then you can add this to the system filter file:

if $recipients is $sender_address
then

  fail text "You sent mail to $recipients from $sender_address \n You cannot send mail to yourself from yourself."
  seen finish
