Thanks for the suggestions...

more info at: Anti-Spam Provisions in Sendmail
8.8+ http://www.sendmail.org/antispam.html

The "blacklist" I was looking for is MAPS blacklists
(http://www.mail-abuse.org/).
This blocks a substantial fraction of the spam your users might receive,
particularly
from ISP dialups and open mail relays.

also the access_db feature in sendmail which lets you create a list of
domains, IP addresses or address ranges, and email addresses to block.
