Two things that I have found very useful at the MTA level are:

(1) Delay sending your SMTP banner a second or two and reject any sender that starts sending information before that. This is a built-in option in Sendmail, google "greet_pause".

even 15...

(2) Check the HELO the other guy sends and reject if it's not a FQDN (i.e. it's not got any periods at all).

or if it's your FQDN, or your IP - they should use their FQDN, not yours.

Agreed. That's one of the other checks I have, but it rarely hits. Then again, my volume is tiny... :)
