Consider using relaydelay then.  I only have spamassassin and relay delay 
running.  So far, everything has been stopped by relaydelay.  SpamAssassin 
has been pretty unbusy lately.  It might change, but the source of the spam 
would have to send everything twice unless it has established itself, and 
right now, all that stuff is coming from unique IPs with unique names and 
unique subjects.  It's not sending twice.  (If it did, I'd be in trouble I 
guess.)

SpamAssassin hadn't been catching enough stuff lately... I should do some 
checking into newer rules for "SA."  I'm sure eventually some spam will get 
through.
