There are many, many such tools. For Unix mail servers the options
are plentiful and a simple web search will turn them up. I don't use
Windows mail servers but I'm sure similar tools exist for them.

I think that's pretty dangerous, but it's certainly your prerogative
to block mail from anyone. Recommending that to a newsgroup,
however, merits a little more explanation :) Generally, solutions
that are manually maintained tend to fall behind the spam - you're
trying to block yesterday's spam. It may work, but it's a lot of
effort.
