I received bounced emails which I never sent. Checking the IP of the 
email origin, I concluded someone is trying to spam using my domain name 
and possibly also my smtp. That's horrible!

Talking about filters, I tried many, including this one above. They are 
so cumbersome and sometime do not recognize friend and foe correctly. 
And some spammers have even invented ways to by pass filters. I received 
a few dozens of those with a spam filter installed.
