Hello,

Ahh! That is much clearer! You may want to look into ucspi-tcp in
sysutils/ports. Its tcpserver, tcprules, and rblsmtpd "sub-programs" do
a fairly good job of rejecting connections from undesirable smtp
servers - from the individual address all the way to netblock level.
See http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html for details.
Other possible options a something like spamassassin, route them  to
/dev/null, etc.
