It's been my experience that probably the last 5-8 percent of
the spam that gets through after all other automated means
are deployed, are the hardest to get rid of.

These spams usually have to be analyzed, and dealt with by
manual blocking tables, of which, there are many choices.

Depending on what sort of user base you have on your system,
you might even be able to block entire countries, or ISP subnets.

Just out of curiosity, have you analyzed your logfiles to see
what percentage of the total spams are being blocked, versus the
percentage of spams getting through?
