Actually, in the Cobalt UI, in the mail server settings/parameters, 
there are fields where you can enter entire domains to be blocked 
from the server ("Reject the Following Users/Hosts/Domains").  It 
sets up exactly what you're describing.

You can put in .cn, .com.cn, .capitalnet.com.cn, etc. to achieve 
varying levels of specificity.  Even spammer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to 
block specific mail source addresses... (no help to you if they are 
always changing).

Make entries one per line; changes are written into /etc/mail/access 
(same file where Relay Allow stuff is written to).  Below is a paste 
of the line from my /etc/mail/access file when I added the host to 
the field on my RaQ 4:

.capitalnet.com.cn      550 Mail rejected due to possible SPAM
