Sendmail is nearly infinitely configurable - and not all that
complicated if you do it in sendmail.mc instead of .cf.   But, the
really quick fix is to drop in a couple of milters.  milter-greylist
is in the rpmforge repo and will tempfail everything the first time it
sees a new sender (exceptions/timing configurable, of course).  Most
spammers don't retry, all real mail servers do, so at the expense of
an occasional delivery delay you avoid most of the problem.
MimeDefang is in both EPEL and rpmforge.  It lets you control most
sendmail operations in a small snipped of perl and allows you to run
any tests you want, including rbls and spamassassin before the message
is accepted at the smtp level.   MimeDefang is flexible enough that
you could add your own greylisting there, but it isn't included out of
the box (but the author has a commercial solution that is more
complete).
