Also, use the various RBLs in the scoring.  e.g. add 50% of the threshold 
score if its on spamcop and 25% for some of the other more aggressive 
RBLs.  We have a very high and correct hit rate as a result.  Our users can 
then add white lists for the handful of their contacts that get tagged as 
spam since they are using spam friendly ISPs.
