Spamcop DNS Blacklist!  It blocks spam before it's transmitted to your
server, saving tons of bandwidth.  It's free (donation requested), easy
to use (add one line to your sendmail m4 file), and it regularly blocks
over 2000 spam emails per week to my employer's domain!  I used to
personally get 30-50 spam per day, and now I can count them on one hand.
