Thanks all!  I seen to forget about sendmail and it's capabilities.  I
usually just leave it alone and do most things from MailScanner.

I lost my mind when I came in this morning to over 1000 messages from that
one ip.  Sendmail is now filtering it.  I might allow it again if it
disappears from my mail logs.
