I was told to check out:

http://www.sendmail.org/antispam.html
http://www.spam.abuse.net/spam/
http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/%7Eca/email/check.html

One suggestion was to install sendmail v8.8.6.

I had a look at http://www.sendmail.org/antispam.html and
it had the solution that I wanted.

Thanks to everyone! Spammers - watch out, 'cause she's
armed and dangerous :)
