It's easy to block all spam, if you don't mind also blocking legitimate mail. What's harder is being confident you're not blocking any legitimate mail. I'm glad you've managed it :).
I have Bayesian filtering behind DMARC checks and a few other DNS and RBL checks. Still not perfect -- for all folk talk of the difficulties getting mail accepted by the big providers, a surprising number of companies still don't have matching forward and reverse DNS records :P.
One principle I follow is that I don't drop anything. Every message will either be rejected or delivered, with a narrow band of SpamAssassin scores that delivers to a spam folder.
