These "snowshoe" spams are a bit difficult to nail because they keep

enough for that to help much.

In that vein: is your environment such that you can implement
greylisting and delay accepting mails from new correspondents for a bit,
to allow the RBLs to recognize them?

This will also cut down on spammers that don't do retry

additionally: try to put greylisting after dnswl's and spf-policyd in the MTA - that won't slow down regular traffic and big senders which often retry with different outgoing servers

so you have both:

* killed clients which don't retry
* spambots which retry likely on more blacklists the next time
* minimized bad impact for regular mail-flow
