I think you should look at greylisting again. One, it's reasonable easy to 
compile lists of ISPs that dont comply with the RFC. Two, reasonable 
greylisting systems allow to collect data before being activated. Three, it 
grows on you the longer you have it. Sure, the first couple of months support 
gives you a hard time. But then, suddenly, it calms down and you only think 
of it when it crashes and spam complaints start again... Four, economics. It 
reduces your mail load massively. Finally, I think the implementations have 
improved (like the one I wrote .. ;)
