On the spam-filtering front, I've had very good luck using spamd on an
OpenBSD machine.  It's designed to run as a silent spam firewall that sits
in front of your server.  With greylisting turned on it's very good at
separating real mail servers from bulk spam senders.  By adding a few
spamtrap addresses it might also be good at finding compromised mail
servers.  spamd cut several hundred spam messages per day out of my
mailbox, and it puts almost no load at all on the machine.

Let me know if you'd like more information on setting up spamd.  I
certainly wouldn't consider running a server without it at this point.
