Yes. There's only one thing that I know that will handle it. Give up on email!
Just kidding! See if you or your ISP can support white lists.
Anyone not in the list is refused by the server. The first time each one who
sends an email gets a reply where they have to say who they are and why they
want to get through, or some such.
There's the thing of making sure the mailserver does a verify of the IP to
match the name used. I.e. DNS lookup.
800-1000 a day sure is a bunch.
I got ten domains but I don't have my address fully typed out so I don't get
as much, maybe 50-100/day. I used to have catch-all but they are all gone.
