How to deal with extremely high spam levels

Bogofilter is apparently designed for the situation where the number
of spams per day roughly equals the number of non-spams per day.
In my situation, the ratio exceeds 100:1. In the two weeks I've been
re-training bogofilter, I've collected:
Correctly filtered Ham: 101
Unsures registered as Ham: 26
Correctly filtered Spam: 1067
Unsures registered as Spam: 14177
Part of the reason for my unusually high spam-load is that I'm
receiving catch-all emails for several domains. Part of the reason is
that my email address is listed in several places on the internet.
I am unwilling to change email addresses or remove my catch-all
accounts. I would rather just filter the crap out at the server.
However, at this rate, it will take nearly a year to collect enough
non-spam to run bogotune. I'm not willing to wait that long.
If Bogofilter is inadequate to this situation, are there any
recommendations for how to properly deal with it?
Thanks,
