Sure thing, parse the logs:
2003-06-16 05:31:20 19Rt8l-0001ox-Ui SA: Action: permanently rejected message: h
its=21.0 required=7.0 trigger=12.0 (scanned in 1/1 secs). From <foskett at usa.net>
 (host=h0007e9f09ccb.ne.client2.attbi.com [24.34.37.97]) for user at mydomain
                                           
Be careful not to blacklist your secondary MXes and hosts that forward mail
to you (/etc/aliases / ~/.forward)
