milter-greylist in combination with clamav-milter, a few select DNSBLs, 
and entries in access.db for the worst offenders works wonders.  Here's 
an article I wrote on it a while back:

http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/greylist.pdf

This article doesn't cover the latter two concepts, and it's only a PDF 
for now.  If time permits, I'll expand it and generate text and HTML 
versions.

(Now that I think about it, the article uses the clamav-devel port, 
which should be replaced with the plain clamav port now.)
