Ive personally found that with keywords like found here:
http://itis.net/msbl/msbl-current.txt

and not allowing certain IP's like:
ftp://ftp.h2osoft.homeip.net/filters.rec

not having an open relay and keeping a global postmaster
account for unknown users of my email server seems to
work affectivly. The above links will serve to help in building
a pretty good filter...
