Well, do I have a treat for you!

The following link details using OpenBSD and PF along with spamd so that 
the spammers wind up wasting resources. No point reporting them most of 
the time, but if you make it more expensive and inefficient to spam you, 
I'm sure that would help: http://www.benzedrine.cx/relaydb.html

Really good stuff.
