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

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... :)
