And if there was, mails like sams would be designed to bugger them up?
mmm, so there probably is a shared database, or "set of rules" to grade
each mail.
As to a possible home/SOHO solution, have a look at bogofilter:
tal% apt-cache show bogofilter
Package: bogofilter
Source: bogofilter (1.2.2+dfsg1-1)
Version: 1.2.2+dfsg1-1+b1

Description-en: fast Bayesian spam filter (dummy package)
This package implements a fast Bayesian spam filter along the lines
suggested by Paul Graham in his article "A Plan For Spam".
.
This version substantially improves on Paul's proposal by doing
smarter lexical analysis. In particular, hostnames and IP addresses are
retained as recognition features rather than broken up. Various kinds of
MTA cruft such as dates and message-IDs are discarded so as not to
bloat the word lists.
