get the ip# of the spammer and check it against the existing rbls or
your own private rbl

if you're looking for free lists of "spam ip#" and emails of spammers
to disallow them access to your systems

        http://www.Linux-Sec.net/Mail/RBL

        - there's about 100 RBLs to pick from
        - some of them give you a list of ip# .. others give a list of
        email addy of the spammer to specifically deny

- antispam policy should be done at the router and mta ...
        - procmail methods are too late, you've already received the
        spam and they have confirmed your addy as valid for more spams
