With respect, my preferred approach differs slightly. I instruct my MTA to reject (or, in certain special cases, silently discard) the spam during the SMTP conversation. Granted, there are several reasons that approach isn't for everyone -- or even very many folks; because of that, it may fail your "reasonable thing" criterion. :-} But I find it useful despite that.
