How do I stop spam that uses my users email address as the sender?

I have been getting a number of spam emails where the sender and the user are the same. I gets right through Spamassassin because it ranks it as -80 or thereabouts.

What I have noticed is that in he headers Return-Path: <> is the junk sender. So how can I stop this and have SA actually check the RP before sending it on. Any other ways to stop this?

Thanks as always.

Use the learning function in spamassassin, submit it several e-mails of that kind, it should stop. But basically, if mail is sent by someone else, you can't control anything except checking it normally.
