Since I have no experience in this, I can't think of a good spam solution that doesn't drop half of valid emails.
My first thought was a simple whitelist/blacklist check on top of basic handshake validation and things like checking for spoofs, I'm not sure how hard is it to set up such configurations for postfix. In your experience what tends to work other than what you are currently using?

As for the web interface, I can either work on something minimal and custom or we can deploy something open source for example both GNU Mailman and Listmonk seem promising to me.

https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/
https://listmonk.app/

Mailman is licensed under GPL-3 and Listmonk is under AGPL-3 so I think both of them are solid choices for an open source community.
