Of course. Checking a blacklist with data provided in the SMTP
interchange will only block direct connections to your server. You

Use spamassassin. It uses a bunch of heuristics to check the contents
of a mail message and decide how much it looks like spam.
Nigel posted a nice-looking exim config to include it a couple days
