Peter N. M. Hansteen: Effective Spam and Malware Countermeasures - Network Noise Reduction Using Free Tools - originally a paper presented at BSDCan 2007 which puts spamd into a slightly wider spam and malware fighting context along with some data on spammer behavior, this 2013 update contains some updates relevant to present conditions.
