I realise that Neil's idea would prevent his system from *accepting*
mail from open relays. Another approach I have heard about is to only
accept mail for a domain (say, domain.com) from domain.com's listed MX
hosts. I don't know which MTAs implement this, though--anyone?
If all you're trying to do is stop reading spam (as opposed to not
receiving it), then you should check out SpamAssassin.
