Spam problems

[serverx]

Hi, in the last days i saw a lot of spam messages on the mail queue, i saw that all the message was sending as sender anonymus@hostnameofmyserver.com or somethingelse like admin@hostnameofmyserver.com, root@hostnameofmyserver.com
There's any way for block this ? it's possible set the mail server that it's not possible use @hostnameofmyserver.com addresses ?

Thanks

Yep you could do that if you've got qmail-scanner set up, it can scan outgoing messages as well as incoming. Then you just blacklist_from those email addresses and you're done.

Host at Google Apps

Well I sincerely have been pointing all new domains or domains with spam problems to Google Apps. Its free, its better than host on my machine. I cannot give costumers 5Gb per account for free.
Gmail also has a nice filter for spam so .... move it to Google.

Yep, they have some great anti-spam technology. That doesn't address the threats posed to the abuse of web based applications on the server. Thats the primary threat outbound filtering addresses.
