I completely agree with you.  However, given the OPs list of
characteristics for describing the spam s/he's experiencing, it's kinda
hard to do that with *postfix*'s supported mechanics.  My preferred
strategy would be to REJECT the mail as soon as possible -- before even
bothering *rspamd* about it.

If you know of a way to have *postfix* examine the internals of a message (*à
la* the OPs describing characteristics), *boy! howdy!* I'd love a pointer
to it!

I only offered the *sieve* solution as another way to solve the OPs
problem.  As I said, I find the *sieve* language to be fairly obtuse and
pretty limited.  It's useful but kinda only as the last resort...
