The one bit of spam I'd like to stop, and I seem to remember seeing

the spam appears to be "from me to me." That is, the spammers who
use my email address as the from address. Those emails get past the
relay and auth checks because the mail is not being relayed. If I
could stop that spam, it would probably kill 100% of my spam.
The best way to deal with 'from me to me spam' in my opinion is to
implement SPF, then you can either reject SPF-fail, or hand mail to
Spam Assassin and score SPF fail up. That is, unless you are REALLY
sure that no one on your domain will ever send mail to themselves.
