apt-cache show mailfilter

Removes spam at the server so you don't have to download it.  Uses
Allow, Deny, Scoring regex rules to mark spam for deletion.

There is also a new spinoff called murx which allows more options in the
'spam' filtering.  A debian package is available <murx.sourceforge.net>.
