Am using amerinoc managed VPS and it has spam assassin running on it. It doesn't seem to work at all because all sorts of stuff still gets through. Stuff that has no business getting through a spam filter since they often have zip files and are just blatant spam.

I have it on low threshold and have it set to delete spam and have a blacklist a mile long.

Short of telling every user to run their email account through gmail servers, is there any good fixes out there that will prevent this stuff from getting through to end users?

A lot of it these days seems to show the sender as having the same email address as the person receiving it. Snippet from a header of a recent spam. Message was nothing but a zip file sent from the same email address as the recipient. No body message.
