For the ultimate spam filter, you have to go with Spamassassin.  It's 
just an awesome piece of code.  It's hardly every wrong... I think it 
miss identifies 1 "good" mail for every 3000 that it correctly 
identifies as spam, and do to it's automatic bayesian filtering, it only 
gets better the longer you use it.

If you are in a position to install it (requires a server) checout:

If you are running windows, here is a POP proxy version of the same 
thing.. or in other words.. it works with ANY email client you might be 
using):
