Default Help with spam control

I'm having a real problem with spammers sending to reciepients in our domain without an MX record. I want to enable reverse lookups to limit some of this. Here's some background on this:
Currently running Network Edition 5.0.11 on Ubuntu 8.0.4 64bit
We have a split domain with separate outgoing smtp server

Each box that handles mail has an MX record in our DNS.

I would like to continue to allow authenticated users to be able to send remotely through Zimbra.

Will enabling DNS lookups in Global settings and for the server allow above?

What restrictions do you currently have in place ?
Code:
su - zimbra
zmprov gcf zimbraMtaRestriction
have you also had a read of Improving Anti-spam system - Zimbra :: Wiki.

Within the Admin GUI you should be able to enable reject_unknown_sender_domain which will do what you are after. I would also highly recommend that you implement some RBL checking aswell.
