Avoid the spam? Shutdown the mail server.

Indeed, it seems the more you get rid of, the more you get. Any
secondary MX system will just be hammered 24/7, leaving you with
max. one valid mail out of thousand attempts from ratware.

Properly through some MTA not clever enough to get to the
primary?

But even on primary MX boxes you get perhaps 70-90% just spam.

I'd suggest to the OP to look into rbl checking first, this can
be done directly from sendmail and should you get rid of quite
some crap and it's rather cheap in opposite to firing up
SpamAssassin (SA), for every connection.

For Postfix, there is pflogsumm on freshmeat.net. Maybe there is
something similar for Sendmail?

I use these to reduce the spam volume:
dnsbl.ahbl.org
combined.njabl.org
list.dsbl.org
sbl.spamhaus.org
cbl.abuseat.org
dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net

NOTE: I have not checked in a VERY long time to be sure all of the
above are still functional.
