Ken, we use both ordb and spamcop, and between the two of them our spam
is down about 90%. A lot of people say spamcop has a lot of false
positives, and it can be fooled, but it uses a weighted percentage
calculation so it generally errs on the side of leniency. The spamcop
website itself advises not using it on a production server, but lots of
people on SPAM-L do, and it works for us.
I'm down to averaging less than two spams a day on my spamtrap accounts.
