PF's spamd works rather well, but it will never be better than the weakest data source. spamd does greylisting as well, which I think is possibly quite as useful as the tarpitting in stopping spam from entering your system. Then again, the tarpitting part is sometimes a bit entertaining at least. My take on this with some comments on our experience here can be found at http://www.bgnett.no/~peter/pf/en/spamd.html, which is part of my pf tutorial (starting at http://www.bgnett.no/~peter/pf/en/ or http://www.bgnett.no/~peter/pf/no/ if your Norwegian is better than your English) -- Peter N.
