OK.
Much of the spam I used to receive came from forged hotmail.com accounts.
Very little spam actually comes from hotmail, so I don't want to just block
them since there are some legitimate correspondents of mine that use their
mail (heck, I use a hotmail address sometimes when I'm on the road..)

Ron Guilmette has patches that do this for Postfix at
<http://www.monkeys.com/anti-spam/filtering/additions.html>.  I
tried them but had too many false positives, even for the commonly
forged domains like hotmail.  They did catch some spam though it
never more than 2 or 3% of the daily filtered total.
