You may be also able to filter by country as well since so much spam 
comes through Aisa and Argentina.

I highly recommend spamcop and abuseat. We run 5 VPS.
For the first 16 hours of today (2/3), these are the spam attempts 
blocked by spamcop, spamhaus, abuseat and sorbs:

339
227
108
100
64

The above would project to over 1200 attempts per day which procmail 
never even sees! The data of the mail is never transferred because it is 
refused at the SMTP transaction level.

Go for it!
