Same as any other. Make his efforts useless. Block the impact of it on
your own network. I still believe in blocking spam where it has the
impacts. Make mail relays un-hijackable. Make mail servers block the
spam for your customers (unless the customers wants it through in which
case they can configure or ask for that).
