In the spirit of TMTOWTDI, you can also run instances of Qpsmtpd[1]:
http://smptd.develooper.comin front of your actual SMTP server and reject as much as possible during the initial SMTP transaction. All of the perl.[com|org] domains as well as all apache.org mail goes through Qpsmtpd. You have multiple run methods: forking, tcpserver, pre-fork (still beta), or even running under Apache. And it's written in Perl with a robust plugin architecture, so you can tailor your architecture to an alarming amount.
