Spamassassin is one of many tools to do this.  Simply using
spamassassin to delete your email is not going to get the job done.
You have to follow through with other means to get the spammer's
webhosts and email providers involved to cut them off.  Do this enough
times, the spammers get cornered to tidy portions of the net easy to
iptables out of existance.  It just takes a lot of people to do this.
