I maintain a list of all domains that have repeatedly sent me spam in
the past, and use procmail to automatically discard mail from these
domains.  Some magic ensures that messages that are replies to my own
messages won't be affected.

Of course, the list of rotten domains should perhaps be globally
maintained, so that when enough spams have originated from some domain,
it could be automatically blocked by all who wanted.

For my particular spam filtering, look at:
