I just set up a mail filter on my mail server written in Perl, based
on the SpamAssassin Perl module. It reads the mail via the POP server
(so can deal with multiple mailboxes), filters the mail via rules and
Bayesian statistics, and then delivers it to local inbox files. Works
great; I have a whitelist to deal with a couple of senders that send
things that look like spam (like ebay and paypal), but otherwise get
no false positives (things classified as spam that aren't). A few
spams get through still, but most of the ones that get through (the
ones with an in-between score) are tagged as "probably spam"
correctly.

I would be glad to share it with you if you don't mind reading Perl
code. Just email me.

In recent messages (12 days) I have received (and blocked) 2484 out of
a total of 6271 messages. These are to two recipients plus a catchall
domain mailbox. So a total of 40% of our mail is spam. And we get
about 200 spam messages a day.
