It's probably these kind of spammers filling almost every form they find
and then hoping it will generate some mail...

For locally generated mails you could limit the number of recipients and
block all mails with more than e.g. 5 recpients.

You can do strict sender checking - since I guess, that almost always
the sender is not valid with such random filled forms.

But - does your server need to send locally generated mail at all?
