While ORDB, RBL, etc, are all very good ideas, isn't it also necessary to stop spams, not just spammers? I'd suggest that you extend your strategy to include something like SpamAssassin. This program does not need to know which IP address the email is coming from... it looks at the email (headers and body) and determines whether it is a spam. Our tests with about a hundred trial messages indicated 100% correct separation of spams from non-spam. We've now built up a collection of several hundred spams, which we will use for another round of tests before we actually install it on our servers.
