I think (somebody pls correct me if I'm wrong) that your router entry will only stop the spam that has that kind of From address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] That used to be somewhat effective to counter spam but is now pretty useless as spammers use a random array of valid domains in the From field. The only way you will slow down the spam is by religiously updating your local blacklist and by using well known DNSRBLs. I would strongly suggest dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net that blocks dialup/cable/adsl IPs and as many countries from blackholes.us as you think you and your clients can tolerate. I'm not sure about the authentication and queue problems so I'll let others more knowledgeable than me (not hard to find) to answer that one.
