I use Exim and the Exim filter to block some "Undisclosed.Recipients".

Note that legitimate mail may contain "Undisclosed Recipients", so you may
want to make sure your rules check on other information also. For example,
I only block them when the originating mail didn't have a message ID.

I have a webpage that has some links to a variety of filters at
http://www.reedmedia.net/misc/mail/filters.html

You may want to look at the procmail-based junkfilter.
