That's right, it's much harder once anybody accepted the mail, because
then that person is trying to pass the mail on probably from a real
honest server.  I found this to be really effective for over a year now:

 - greylisting (I use gps + sqlite)

 - Spamhaus RBL lookup (IPs that are detected by Spamhaus as sending
spam to their fake emails get blacklisted here)

 - tight rules on postfix:

    - insist that the server has reverse DNS

    - insist that the recipient user actually exists (end of most virus
mails)

    - insist on proper Helo FQDN (lot of spam tools and viruses don't
take care of this)

    - Use helo_restrictions to override one way or the other

Spams are down to five or so a day.
