I appreciate your concern. Fortunately, it is something that is a known 
problem - one that I have on my list of things to 'fix.' Try to keep in 
mind, spam trapping is a rather full-time job itself. The more 'fixes' 
you come up with, the more workarounds seem to appear. Anyway, suffice 
to say, our setup is already rejecting 900+/day. While there are more 
that are getting through lately, it's not something I'm going to focus 
on when we're in the middle of planning out the addition of a new 
(dedicated) mail server.  It is however something I am focusing on while 
mapping out the new server. Once we roll out the new server, we might 
see a slight rise in spam until the new setup is able to 'learn' what is 
spam vs. ham. Expect to hear about this more in the coming month.

Cheers,
