First of all I would recommend Spambayes. I've been using it for a couple weeks now and it has cut the false negatives down to a minimum. I use it via procmail to filter any messages that get through spamassassin. Another option may be to tweak some of the scores in spamassassin. I have found this to be very time consuming and tedious work but it does help.
