I *USED* to use mailwasher but I got tiered of batteling spam and 
sending all these bounced messages...in the end I ended up moving to 
Thunderbird, which does a suprisingly good job of flitering out 
junkmail... I don't say that to pursade anyone... but in my case it's 
been a life saver to filter out at my end w/ Thunderbird. :)

(google: Mozilla Thunderbird)
