I generally don't comment, instead reading the list to pick up when I need to make updates...

d d, isn't the greylisting properly blocking the spam from Brazil?  Since I implemented greylisting over a year ago, the spam that has gotten through has been minimal.  I used to have a block policy similar to yours, although a bit more discriminating (I wrote a program that would identify the specific IP range from which the spam originated by doing a whois lookup on lacnic, apnic, etc, and then blocking that range for a period of time based on certain rules -- in some cases permanently, and in some cases temporarily.) but since installing fail2ban, this system is effectively deprecated on my machine.
