Most of the RBLs list dynamic IP addresses for they should not be sending emails whatsoever in most cases. Identifying the the origin of the spam in huge networks with thousands of compromised machines is not an easy task and blocking the port 25 based on that network analysis will produce false positives for these are dynamically assigned IP addresses and will change with every time the user connects. > > Alternatively and maybe better arrange for a proxy server to do > filtering and discard spam.

If you want to cope with the email volume that is being generated by hundreds of thousands of clients then you will need to build a monster solution. Not only that, you also may cause your users legitimate emails to be rejected or flagged as SPAM for they will be sent from a destination other than their email server.
