Thanks all for your responses We've been using
reject-empty-rdns reject-unresolvable-rdns reject-missing-sender-mx reject-ip-in-cc-rdns 2 dns-blacklists and a variety of whitelist/blacklist files and have been eliminating a bunch of these and others what doesn't get stopped by spamdyke, usually gets caught by spamassassin. Further inspection, reveals these folks are seeing the entries in their spam folders (go figure) while those that have a liberal spam policy get the occasional item in their inbox. Although we have seen an increase in this type of spam, it apparently is not as big a problem as originally thought.
