IMHO you are choosing the wrong operator. For us spam rejection works so
well, it's almost an embarassment - having to apologise to innocent
relayers who don't know what's going on.

To reject a (long, over 1,050) list of spam domains we use a serial file
search:

sender_reject = partial2-lsearch;/var/mail/blocked/senders

./senders:

#
# spamreject list v 2 rev 30
#
# To add entries to this list, please send an email to
# <spam@???> including a copy of the offending mail(s),
# as well as other pertinent information.
#
# Regards
# Arthur Hagen
# Broomstick Net Services

To reject relaying from all networks but our own:

sender_net_accept_relay = 195.64.35.128/25
