I control my own domain and since there are no customers on michvhf.com
I make sure anyone who connects to my SMTP port has working reverse DNS,
I have a long list of domains that spam regularly, another list of IP
blocks that have been spamming and I use MAPS. According to the logs,
all of these are turning around more than 100 spams a day - and I still
get (on some days) 50-100 more that actually get around all of that. I
also use some disposable email addresses so I can see where the address
was culled from and drop the address when it happens. Not very successful
tho - I guess I can only call it 50% at times.
