Thanks for responding Chris. I am currently using the MAPS
relays.mail-abuse.org with rblsmtpd, I guess the spam I'm
getting isn't coming from an open relay. Actually, the
spammers usually relay through a valid mail server for their
network that isn't an open relay on the internet, it's just
allowing users who are behind it to go through it. I guess
in this case my best bet would be to forward it to their
admins since I can't block by originating IP...
Thanks,
Dave

badmailfrom is useless. :-) People can arbitrarily set their envelope
sender anyway.

! to come from different addresses and subnets.
Look into rblsmtpd, included with the ucspi-tcp package. You can make it
use the MAPS RBL (http://maps.vix.com/rbl/), and you can specify your
own list of addresses (that's IP address, not envelope sender address)
to block.
