Dan Shoop <email@hidden> said (and thank-you for the info, I will
reference it when I have a chance to try working with Exim, hopefully
soon):
Run exim, either as a replacement for postfix (which is far to
convoluted) or as a front end. Exim's concept of strong ACLs drop
more spam and nasty tricks like these than any other MTA

Who is 192.168.0.253???
Perhaps you may have a misconfigured server:
xserve.desuetude.com[192.168.0.253], delay=2, status=bounced
(mail for mail.desuetude.com loops back to myself)
What is the IP of your server ?
64.191.131.194.192.168.0.253 is the internal address.
What do you have listed in Server Admin under Mail / Settings /
Advanced,
Localhost aliases ?
I now have
desuetude.com
mail.desuetude.com
As for blocking spoofing attempts, you do have an option for Postfix,
which
came with your OS X Server (vs. Dropping it and using Exim instead).

This is extremely helpful. I'll get to reading. Thanks.
