Then just setup a false user (spamtest) and have all your users "forward" the 
spam there ?????  I have several such accounts, some as "honeypots" so to 
speak (never listed anywhere, never used anywhere, never existed outside my 
alias file) that if they ever receive mail it is virtually guaranteed to be 
spam and the IP in question gets blocked here...

It won't cause it to "cease", but can help SA learn quicker and cut it down 
some...
