I disagree with you.  SA, if you tune it right, will detect pretty much 
ALL spam.  But it needs lots of RAM.

We warn users above 5 and delete mails above 20 and yesterday we managed 
to delete 59% of spam...

Most of our users can activate a filter that will move all flagged spam 
to a spam folder that is cleaned automatically... this is really good 
for all!

Our stats for yesterday:
sa-score2 --log /var/log/old/maillog.20060719 --by 5
Processing /var/log/old/maillog.20060719 for scores greater than 5 by 
increments of 5...

  10 ..  15 :   6492 time(s) 12%
