Do I then need to do a reverse lookup test and reject on all messages?
Also, most of the stuff seems to be coming from the domain below:

if you use the PTR hostname interbusiness.it, then that blocks all of
that=20
ISP of which there is a huge number of spammers.

that would do it, it they fax number has not been obscured by some
hidden=20
characters inside the number.  The problem with scanning for the fax
number=20
is that it is not anchored to the start of line, so you have to scan
every=20
byte of every message to catch a few messages. Content-scanning is very=20
inefficient, and mostly a waste of time.
