2 things which may or may not help, but worth mentioning anyway - - If your backup is somewhere friendly, see if you can't get the admins at that site to put the machine behind a greylisting spamd too. - Second, local greytrapping seems to actually take care of a lot of the remaining 3% of the messages spammers attempt to send. If you're not already greytrapping, check your mail logs for attempts at delivery to unknown users you know will never exist and make them traps using spamdb. A handful of trap addresses should have very visible effect. -- Peter N. M.
