If you're running spam assassin in combination with a real mail
server (i.e. not only using it after you've popped mail from your
ISP), have a look at greylisting with for example mail/postgrey
(postfix).
A random day before we used greylisting:
root@mag:~# bzcat /var/log/viruscan.6.bz2 | grep "code 4" | wc
282 4948 29875
root@mag:~# bzcat /var/log/maillog.6.bz2 | grep "identified spam" | wc
773 11595 83109
A random day since we've been using greylisting:
root@mag:~# grep "code 4" /var/log/viruscan | wc
14 196 1483
root@mag:~# grep "identified spam" /var/log/maillog| wc
38 570 4112
I think you can call that "decapitated".
