Usually, I'd like to be reachable by unknown domains. Otherwise many
private answers on usenet would not be possible.

I'm using procmail as a mail-filter. Anybody who sends me a spam is
put in my ~/.nomail file (by hand) and from then on, he can no longer
send me mail (it will be returned with an automatic complaint). It's
also possible to filter whole domains. This is not perfect as all
first-time spams still reach me :-/

Procmail is freely available for many UNIX-systems, AFAIK.
