You have an SPF entry, were you not responsible for it's setup?
ghesk...@shentel.net
# dig -t txt shentel.net +short
"v=spf1 ip4:204.111.2.0/25 ip4:204.111.1.0/24 ip4:204.111.6.73
ip4:204.111.6.123 ip4:204.111.6.124 ~all"
Is that provided on your behalf by barracuda?
# host shentel.net
shentel.net has address 204.111.6.122
shentel.net mail is handled by 10 barracuda.cloud.shentel.net.
If they tightened up your SPF and mail servers respect the rules; then
you can expect less spam -- you cannot expect zero spam as lots of
senders will not use "standard" mail servers and many receiving mail
server will not give SPF the weight it deserves by rejecting false senders.
