You could take the from and to address combination and put them in a
database. The next time the same details are presented, outright reject
them with a rude message.
Any emails from freemail providers I fakedefer the message the first
time and if the message fails a number of tests, reject it outright on
the next attempt. I've never seen multiple attempts to send the same
rejected message though.
