Block fake senders

Hello everybody!
Since a couple of days I noticed in the mail queue a lot of sent spam messages. At first look it seems that messages are sended from one of my email address (user@mydomain.net), but looking at the log I can see that the sender ip doesn't merge with the sender.

As you can see I've different ip sending as user@mydomain.net.
I'm currently using my Zimbra server 8.6.0 as auth smtp relaying outbound email to another server.
I tried to follow this article http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Rejecting_f ... _addresses

Hi,
You have 2 options to protect your environment, one is the one you share with us:

http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Rejecting_f ... _addresses 

But that one will protect you to be spammed your internal accounts with spammers from outside. To be sure that your server is secure, also do the next steps:

Let us know after apply that steps too, should work.

Best regards
