By 'clients' do you mean:

- user's who cannot type consistently or have set their MUA correctly

- *former* user's whose MUA have not had their old accounts
disabled/removed.

- apparent break-in attempts

And in any case, on which arrival port(s) and with which protocol?

The problem should go away with no need to blacklist if you get the
combination set optimally.
