From my experience, Amazon's Simple Email Service already has a good

Amazon SES and they seem to do a very good job of handling abuse:
Clearly your domain (not being .edu) does not get 30,000 spams a day
from amazonses by the scammers at honorsocietymail(dot)org. With that
kind of volume I'd normally prefer to block the sending IPs but sad to
say legitimate mail comes out of the same hosts, so we have to collect
the 30,000 and look at content.
It is interesting that Spamhaus does not list the sending IPs or the
web hosts. Maybe their secret honeypot addresses do not have enough
.edu presence.
(google: "honor society" scam)
Do you mind posting one of those honorsocietymail(dot)org messages to
pastebin? Report it to Amazon's abuse and see how they respond. I bet
they will handle this properly and improve this situation for the
Internet as a whole.
