Don't just block all mail from the null sender address <>. This is
broken behavior and grounds for blacklisting. Are you getting multiple
connections from the same addresses? Try blocking those at your
firewall, or adding them to host_reject_connection.

If you do decide to block mail from <>, make it only a temporary
measure, and fix it as soon as you can figure out what's going on.

good times,
Vineet
