Or set up spam filters. Easily done with ipfwadm if you do your own mail handling, or I've run into a few sites out there that offer procmail rulesets to catch and dispose of spam (Potentially autoreplying with a nastygram at the same time.)
I've found that adding the entire agis.net domain blocks to my IP filters has cut my spam noise level by about 90%. A couple of other domains out there that consistently relay spam or that don't belong to Agis but who still spam brings my spam level down to a comfortable 1 or 2 a month.
See ftp://ftp.greyfox.org/pub/security/filtspam for my script that does this. If someone has suggestions on how to reduce the large number of class C's I'm feeding it into address ranges based on subnet masks, I'd be much obliged.
