[anti-abuse-wg] Anti spam gateway

ip block lists  are a first and still quite useful  line of defense. Spam assassin is a series of score based content filters that supplement Spamhaus and such.  SURBL is a URL block list.

Beyond a point however filtering has grown enormously complex (and add issues such as dmarc and other authentication) so your constituents might be better off outsourcing their mail hosting to one of several large players in this field (none that are local to Asia / saarc though)
