That's some fantastic suggestions! Thanks guy, the Turnkey Promox mail Gateway is a real interesting option also although I do feel a little iffy managing that as I prefer to offload all my email management.
Or self-host with SA. DNSRBL can try Abusix and/or MXRoute.
I really like the Heluna option. 50k would be over the top plenty and cover things easily. The only review I could find seems to suggest it's very good but not the best.

The review is 5 years old and Heluna doesn't currently offer any plan where it doesn't allow all MX records to be filtered. Since AI is their business I'd expect the technology to change over 5 years. That said, the conclusions may still be correct - I've used Heluna but wouldn't claim it stops 100%, and I have nothing against Spamhero (no experience with it).
It may depend on the characteristics of the spam stream - they vary widely in my experience. One of my domains almost exclusively gets Spanish/Portuguese spam and that particular lot is really hard to block.
Both offer a free trial for at least two weeks, so you could compare them before making a decision.

How many domains?
Probably less than 10 but might need more. It'll be Sitting between hosted Microsoft exchange. Which shockingly has very poor filtering vs gmail.
SpamExperts from a reseller if per domain, e.g. https://www.hostens.com/spam-filter/
Heluna if per message, https://heluna.com/pricing-and-plans
Or self-host with SA. DNSRBL can try Abusix and/or MXRoute.
This is prepackaged and made into a turnkey solution through Proxmox Mail Gateway:

Cheap dedis are my drug, and I'm too far gone to turn back.
Maybe my old thread contains some useful information for you: https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/475/use-backup-mx-as-spam-filter

Spamhero seems to have better pricing also.
