Couldn't agree more.

When you get hammered... Does log analysis or similar give any kind
of... indication, what type of spam/badware they'er lugging your way?
If so, I'd aim at some type of postfix trck to target t
just that (worst case... header/body rules... worst, since then you'd
already have accepted the message... best would be if you can find
something really simple to filter on).
