The best thing to do is what my home ISP does. They use relays.osirusoft.com and add an X-Whatevertheylike header to each email from a listed IP address. Then users can filter possible spams based on that header's presence.
So tagging as possible spam, but not blocking, and then using rules to move incoming mails into a "possible junk mail" folder is a good compromise. And real mail which ends up there on a regular basis can be dealt with by filtering rules which deal with it before the "spam" rule.
