| What makes DCC and Vipul's Razor superior to SpamAssassin?

Orthogonal issue.  SpamAssassin uses DCC and I think Razor.

| Emails to my current sender address goes through SpamAssassin, and spam
| still gets through.

The only 100% effective mechanism for stopping spam is to get it listed
under the junk fax laws.  Short of that, some spam will always get through.
