There are a lot of solutions. I'll name a few. You can check IP addresses
against an ORBS-derivative database (there are plenty of them like ordb,
orbz, etc.). These databases maintain lists of machines by IP that act as
open SMTP relays. Open SMTP relays are used by the bulk of spammers. You
can setup procmail rules to filter out messages that match rules so they
don't end up in your users' in-box. SpamBouncer is an open source program
that consists of already established procmail rules and is a product I
recommend. See http://www.spambouncer.org/.
