[thelist] reporting spammers

[Mehmet Efe]

Hi,

Are there tools to identify and stop them in the first place?

Say, you create a filter that will catch the spammer upon connection for
delivery and simply reject the email (without bouncing) and drops the action
into a log file.

(Sendmail, Redhat 6.1)

Thanks.

I usually report them to spamcop.net.  It hasn't really been stopping the 
spammers (they're really hard to catch anyway), but it makes me feel better.
