split up the problem, first try to solve your specific problem analyse your logs, choose the tools which might might help you fixing "your" botnet problem . search list archives meanwhile watch i.e security news lists etc, what security threads related to botnets are recent, and what is done to fight them. Most botnets are based on security holes in software and operating systems used by criminals, it makes rare sense to punish users for it , cause they are victims too. However smtp people see a lot of botnet spam, this is only one part of the problem, postfix etc has few stuff to fight incomming spam, other questions are not really topic of the postfix or spamassassin list , cause they are based in more complex and different reasons.
