spamassassin, like dspam, can use the X-DynaStop tag to train on
spam.  Spam Zombies are by far the largest group in the Dynamic IP
address range (approx 75%+), where there are approx. 10% to 15%
ligitimate mail servers in the same range.  Ligitimate mail servers
can be whitelisted quickly and easily, leaving a very high accuracy
rate (people testing and running DynaStop have stated that success
rates are as high as 99%)

If you use Exim or a MTA that can run DynaStop directly and drop mail
(once you have tested it extensively), the gain is significant in most
cases I have tested and been told of saved resources and costs.

Here is a site of someone using DynaStop and spamassassin:

His results are quite favorable in reduced workload for spamassssin.
Tom also generously provides a whitelist for DynaStop.
