I run a combination of ordb and an inhouse filter on proven spam filters.

You will. ordb is only relays, mail-abuse.org may be the same depending 
upon which list you are using. spamhous.org is less than reliable.

We maintain our own spam source RBL and it blocks 2.5 messages for every 
one blocked by ordb by targeting proven sources of spam.

We still get some spam through however we only receive non-relayed spam 
from a source once and then it is blacklisted. The amount of spam in my 
mailbox has dropped dramatically over the past couple of months since the 
list took off properly.

It's not a perfect solution however it works well enough.
