What's worked well for me so far is K-Spam, free in the OpenNTF.org downloads. Okay, you need to be running your own server, but after about 3-4 months, it's trained well enough to knock out more than 90%, maybe as much as 98% or so. What it lacks though, and I still need to add, is a whitelist, since I still have to glance through the unread view of the spam box looking for friend's mail that it catches erroneously.
Another free bayesian filter that works well for standard Pop3 accounts is popfile, available at sourceforge.
KSpam has made life much less chaotic, and still seems to get better as it trains itself over time. After the initial install I was a bit discouraged, but I learned not to be as time passed and it got much better.
Wow gaston, that's a great tip!
