Perhaps obvious, and perhaps in the FAQ Mark linked, but this sounds like a job 
for ipfw to me.

I regularly get spambot subscription requests, and they go right in the 
firewall. (For example: "ipfw add deny tcp from 1.2.3.4 to any". You could add 
port 25, but I figure if they are so lax to allow email list spambots, I don't 
need to listen to them at all.)

Generally, they're from countries I could care less about, but if they come 
from someplace "civilized," I may let their abuse address know. (Found via 
"whois 1.2.3.4", for example.)
