Does anyone of you out there has a "fit for all purpose"-solution to such things?
Every solution to handle mail is only usable for 6 months to one year. Even magic things like greylisting or challange response looses their effectiveness after some time and we need to start the next round fighting for our mailservers.
Each round takes mor hardware, software. complexity, time to implement and money.
Most small ISPs and business mail admins will loose the war sooner or later. The customers will switch to the pre-email-communication-tools like phone and fax. You don't believe it? Look to the mailserver I operate in the business. More then 90% of the mail is unwanted. Universities are typically locations where the futute is a bit closer...

My solution to this problem (which I called email-harvesting), and other threats is documented here: http://www.dudes.ch/spamtracker/
Nice tool, but not the right "hammer" for spam sourced from large bot networks - a quite usual event today.
