Unfortunately, you can't use wildcards in the domain part of a router
entry, so none of those will work. I've tried to figure this one out
myself, and if anyone has a useful strategy for it, I would be grateful to
hear it. About the best you can do is to blacklist the sending IP address,
as it's likely either an open relay or an open proxy, and report the spam
to the owner of the address. But that doesn't stop the spammer when he
moves on to the next unlisted open relay/proxy.
