Have you tried Vipul's Razor <http://razor.sourceforge.net/>?  It is a
collaborative filtering tool.  It was pretty easy to set up, but I've
only been running it for a day and can't tell yet if it is working.

True, it is a solution on your end of the phone line, so not ideal,
but it should automate most of the solution.  And you are a perfect
candidate for it.  As spam leaks through you can send a notice back to
the razor server and it will be banned ever after.

I am using the rbl, but a lot still gets through.  I'm hoping that
Vipul's Razor will get the rest.
