All my spam blocking is documented at:

http://candle.pha.pa.us/main/writings/spam/

You can even see my sendmail rules and script for maintaining my
blocking list at the bottom of the page.

Any network that sends more than 3 spams from different machines I
assume is just a spamhouse, or a poorly administered ISP, and that's how
wanadoo.fr got on my list. (I have since changed the block to
abo.wanadoo.fr). I don't see many other ways to handle this unless I
want to spend more time deleting spam or researching ISP's.

I recently was having some spam get around my blocks by using my
secondary MX. Yesterday I got some sendmail rules to fix that problem.
