Not directly related to SA being back, but since spam combat stories and approaches are shared here: I used to run SA with postfix, but it was quite a memory hog, occasionally leading to OOM killer raging. Half a year ago I've disabled it and revised regular postfix (+ postscreen) settings, consulting a couple of helpful articles [1,2], and didn't get any "real" spam (i.e., not counting Bitbucket) since.
Likely the incoming spam varies for different people and their mailboxes, but tweaking those standard settings can be surprisingly efficient.
