It seems to me there are three problems:

* spam from us - we (a school) don't have the population size or type 
(anonymous users creating their own accounts, for example) to worry about 
this much

* spam relaying through us - as you say, relay and AUTH settings take care 
of (most of?) this

* spam to us - a) not much in evidence yet, b) filtering can deal with 
(some of) it - reactively, proactively, whatever one's taste is, c) RBL has 
a bit of a reputation for over-doing it.
