Using the appropriate RBL's can lead to a drop in 95% of all spam, and I have yet to hear complaints. The trick is choosing RBL's that are comprehensive, deterministic, and responsive. This means that some of the RBL's out there that don't allow your servers off the list when closed just don't find their way in my config.
I also use SpamAssassin and Bogofilter (Bayesian algorithm) and tagging (allowing the filtering to be done at the client or last server with procmail/sieve instead of at the front-end servers. Since I also use RBL's I can't tell you how effective these are. I hardly ever see spam...
