One possibility is to go by the sender address/domain and use RHSBLs 
(right-hand-side blacklists).  For example, in your 
smtpd_recipient_restrictions you might include:
  reject_rhsbl_sender rhsbl.ahbl.org
  reject_rhsbl_sender badconf.rhsbl.sorbs.net
  reject_rhsbl_sender dsn.rfc-ignorant.org

It's not a complete solution, but when using fetchmail you can't get a 
complete solution; you need to rely on spamassassin.  Just make sure 
spamassassin is set to do network tests, including DNS/RBL tests, DCC, 
Pyzor, and Razor, and be sure to install the client software for DCC, 
Pyzor, and Razor.
