It's a basic banner. There's no other place to stick it. Perhaps a generic telnet banner would also suffice (which is highly recommended by just about every security book/whitepaper out there. By putting it in the HELO string and saying about "by continuing the connection you signify consent" I don't see how a spammer could get around it. Making a publicly accessible TOS/AUP and posting it on your website would also help. I see people do it all the time that explicitly state that their servers are not to receive spam. I don't know what it's legal effect is but some many are doing it, it must have some effect.
