My husband and I use this ...
"Introducing MailWasher, the leader in spam filter software, and the 
easiest way to check and manage your e-mails before you download them.

MailWasher is free to use and won't ever expire. It works with 
Outlook, Outlook Express and every other email program. " -

It has cut down on our Spam intake considerably.  The best part is 
that you are not downloading the Spam to your machine.  It presents 
you with a list of headers that it reads from the server.  It marks 
what it thinks is Spam and then the rest is up to you.  If you have a 
white list or black list already set up, you can import it into the program.

If you're not sure about something, you can preview either the header 
or the entire message safely in a text file.  You can report Spam to 
their database and you can bounce the spam back to the sender just as 
it would be bounced if the email address was invalid.

It learns as you mark things either spam or friendly.

We love it and now it's free!  Works also with Eudora and 
Thunderbird.  I don't think it will work with web based mail,
