I used to have statistics worse than that, but so far I only have 50
junk mails in my tbird junk filter today.

A few months back, I adapted a multi-level anti-spam approach on my
mailserver, using:

+ Postfix features to reject or drop messages without things like
fully-qualified hostnames, properly formatted headers, etc.

+ Clam A/V

+ Postgrey greylist filtering (if my server hasn't seen a mail from and
to a given address, reject the message temporarily - we'll accept the
second try).

+ SPF filtering

Since then the junk has dropped significantly and I'm more confident
that my users aren't sending out bad stuff too.
