Thanks.
Spam fluctuates - sometimes I'll go hours without a spam and sometimes
I'll get 15 in the course of five minutes. But since I added spamhaus,
it *seems* like less spam is coming through. I'll have to give it a
whole day before I'm sure, but at least it's promising.

Thanks, Bob. I've added zen.spamhaus.org to my list.
For what it's worth, looking at the last 7 days of logs here, of
the total rejections: 75% was rejected due to being listed on
Spamhaus lists, whilst 3% was rejected because of SpamAssassin
(the rest will be address unknown, ClamAV, etc).
SpamAssassin does a great job scoring mail, but it is best used in
the right place. Testing against Spamhaus first makes its life
much easier!
Note that Spamhaus has limits on its free use -
