Upgrade to OSX and use Mail which comes with osx and has built in spam
filtering.

Or look on version tracker.

am&plt%5B%5D=macos&jumptoCat=0

You can also set up rules in OLE to move message to junk mail folder if
email address is not in address book, but you risk missing emails from new
customers..

BTW I use entourage on os9 which comes with junk filtering.
Good luck
