We've started doing moderate filtering at the mail server, so the client machines will see less spam. My goal is to catch 80-90% at the server level so that the client machines are less swamped.

The fun spams are the ones that are 750KB to 1MB! What are these folks thinking when they're sending out such large attachments?
