If/when that starts to become a problem just combine milter-greylist
with a real time block list.  The idea being that milter-greylist delays
delivery of the spam long enough for that site to show up in a spamtrap
which is fed into a real time block list.  The next time the message
comes in after the delay has expired it gets blocked by the RBL check.

I have to say the results of using milter-greylist far exceeded my
expectations.  Went from 3000-6000 spam a day to 5-10 a day which get
caught by spamassassin.
