Hello,

I do use this:
deny
message         = Faked $sender_address_domain.
log_message     = Fake hotmail
senders         = *@hotmail.com : *@msn.com
condition       = ${if match {$sender_host_name}{\Nhotmail.com$\N}{no}{yes}}


It is not 100% safe as many people could put a reverse DNS pointing to
hotmail, but it is better than nothing.
