I am checking out Popfile a local POP Proxy that marks spam with a special header based on Bayesian statistical analysis of the SPAM contents.
Initially Popmail knows nothing about SPAM. You can make any number of buckets to sort mail into and then you train the filter as to what is spam and what is not. If it mis-classifies something you can go back and retrain it on that particular mail. It is interesting to see which words that it thinks are spam indicators.
I'm just waiting for more mail to arrive in my mail box.
