We do use SpamAssassin at the user level. However, it is important for us
to reject spam at the SMTP level. ie. Refuse to accept the e-mail when it
is coming through "the letterbox", rather than throwing it away
after it
has landed on the carpet.

That is not our experience of spammers. They don't care how many bounces
they get. Their only overriding priority is to spam EVERY e-mail address
that they have. Furthermore, most spam come from poorly defended but
legitimate e-mail servers. These servers are as much a victim of spam. In
fact, they are worst off as they end up being listed in many spam black
lists and their mail queues are usually clogged up with thousands, if not
millions, of bounced spam.
