If you use Outlook, try

http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/windows.html

I use this.  Very good Bayesian filter.  The only thing to know is that you
have to set the "Certain Spam" number down to 20 and the "Suspected Spam"
number down to about 10.  At those settings it nails 99% of my Spam (no, no
statistics with this one but it is native to Outlook).

The Spam volume coming to me has doubled (or more) in the last month.  It
was already about 60 / day after getting rid of an old mail forwarder that
was 100% Spam.  This is really ridiculous.

Dear List:

It's time to get a Spam Filter I guess (sigh).  What do you all use and do
they really save more time than outlook's "Block Sender" and mail rules to
route mail to a spam folder based on whether or not he words Viagra, debt,
breast or penis are contained in the message and/or heading?

P.S. I am now being spammed by people who want me to buy their spam filter.
Ironic, no?
