For spam mail catching I'm using SpamAssassin
http://spamassassin.org/. Its catching about 30-40 spams
a day. Getting about one false positive a week but
letting through about 5 spams a day.
I use it on a linux account which filters the mail
before I need to download it to my home computer
through a dial up connection. Hence its saving me a lot
of time downloading spam messages.
I'm also using procmail to do a few other things.
1) Catch big messages > 50K
and saves them on in a folder
on my linux account. Many of these are
virus. A notification of the arrival of big
messages is sent to my home computer.
2) autoreply to the first message I receive
from a person.
3) Deletes audio/x-wav and audio/x-midi messages
(often viruses)
4) Implement a white list of people I know.
5) Implement a black list of persistent spammers.

p.s. out of interest how many spams are others on the
list receiving?
