True.. it's a hard problem to solve.  I use a Received: blacklist that
cancels out a lot of the international net blocks that house thousands
of open relays.  I get over 1,000 spams a day... it probably catches
90-99% of them.

My filter list plugs into the qmail filtering plugins (that's what my
mail provider uses).... but since they are just regular expressions,
they could be used by almost any kind of filter that parses the
whole message text (or at least the full headers).
