SpamAssassin is your friend.
that's the whole point of this thing. The spammers that are in their system (and more being added all the time by every user) never even hit your server. The ones that get through go straight to a spam folder for review. Add them to the blacklist, and you're done. Of the hundreds and hundreds of spams I used to get with Mailwasher (adding more than 50 new domains to the blacklist every day), I have only had 6 get through to me so far using SpamFighter. That is a massive improvement. (And now all of those are in their system too)
