that server should allow everybody to have control of their mta
and eliminate most spams .. way before it even hits the 
fetchmail/exim/procmail/mutt process

and  $9/yr for a domain name hosted on their own pc sitting at home..

a good solution to preventing/minimizing spam..
        - except one does have to figure out how to stop spam
        at various points

        - lots of reading on exim/sendmail/postfix/qmail/etc
        ( use its antispam features first )

        sendmail antispam/antivirus stuff
        http://www.Linux-Sec.net/Mail/sendmail.gwif.html
        ( 5 minutes to get rid of most ( say 80% - 90% of the spam ))

ie... in answer to the original postsers question .. of which tool...
        its NOT spamassassin or its variants

        get control of your MTA first ( eg host your own domain )
        and use   [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have to ...

have fun
