What version of SA do you run? I find it's highly variable; some people get 80% coverage with stock SA, and others only get 25%. I strongly recommend the SURBL rules, and some of the other rules from http://www.rulesemporium.com/, and the "popcorn", "weeds" and "backhair" rules at http://www.spamfighter.org/bb2/download.php?list.6 With all of the rules, plus greylisting, plus some HELO checks, plus Bayesian filtering, I get maybe one spam a month that makes it through.
