You can block incomming mail from individuals or whole domains by adding an entry to your /etc/mail/access that looks like:
evilspammer.com REJECT
Then you need to regenerate the access.db file.

If you don't have it, I'd recommend you install webmin on your linux box. This graphical interface lets you make changes like above a snap.

Hope this hels.
