I believe using a DNSBL's provided by spamcop etc., could be effective in
this case. You can either reject with 5xx or tag the spam mails sent from
IP addresses identified as sending spam emails.

I don´t reccomend to block mails, based on IP addresses, this is for sure going to cause a lot of false positive and block tons of legit mails, the common thing is to use adsl or cable connection with dynamic IP so if a spammer used that IP and some dnsbl list blacklisted it, its for sure that when the same IP is  assigned to a legit nospammer user is going to have several rejects from servers that consult that dnsbl list.
