a somewhat long term way to deal with this is to report the spam to
things like www.spamcop.net, razor, dcc and pyzor. If the spammer is
using open relays they'll be listed soon enough on spamcop's blacklist.
Additionally, if you report the spam to the various checksum databases,
especially when razor2 will start using nilsimsa (fuzzy hash), spams
that you've gotten may influence the scores of spams you'll receive.

just make sure to strip spamassassin markup or to use report safe
tagging, so that the spam gets reported intact.

You should donate to spamcop if you intend on using their blacklist.

I think spamcop itself may not really help here because it looks like
the user is simply using an mta of his/her own:

  ppp-68-198-28.alternativagratis.com [200.68.198.28] (may be forged)

suggests quite bluntly that it is a dialup user. If you are not a site
you can enable the mail-abuse.org DUL list in your scores. Since a
payment is required for site wide usage these tests are disabled by
default.

You could also try a more local and immediate solution - since the
bayesian classifier is quite confident of the mail's nature, increase
it's influence by multiplying all the scores of the bayesean classifier
by 1.2, or something like that. The .1 edge you needed to classify it as
spam will probably be covered.

Good luck!
