I have an email server Postfix (not open relay) filtered with ASSP (filter incoming mail/connection), but some spammer is sending tons of spam using my email server by using fake local address.

This fake local address makes it seems that the email come from users of my email server.

He can't use his (from) email address, I already put some filter (multiple instance postfix).

The fact that he send the email using fake local address (randomly generated), makes it hard to fight.

I've fix (but not totally) the problem using postfix check_sender_access (list all local sender), but seems not that effective.

You must setup specific hosts that can relay mails to your postfix server. That way, you can define the only servers that can relay mails to you. Also, turn on spf (sender protection framework) so that when a mail comes in and is not coming from an authorized server, it will be rejected.
