I don't know how you configured pf, but since I use the black list
fromhttp://www.sa-blacklist.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/sa-blacklist.current.sendmail-access,
I reduced drastically the spam that reaches SpamAssassin.

The key point with such black list is that you must trust the list, as
there is no place for false positive.

Bests,
