I use Eudora as my mail client, and it has a built-in spam filter (you have
to pay for it now). Pegasus also has a built in spam filter. The suspect
mail is put into a specially created folder in your mailboxes where you can
give them the once-over and delete them.
Mailwasher (free) lists your email, and you can select and preview the
mails you don't want to see before it downloads them to your mail server.
It takes a while to do, and isn't much better than downloading them to your
address box, IMHO, but many people swear by it.
I've heard good things about Popfile, but I haven't tried it myself.
Or you can create your own set of filters which will put your mail into a
spam folder. For domestic use, the easiest one is to put everything that is
not in your address book into the folder; put the addys you want into your
address book. In some mail programs you have to work this backwards; you
let everything in your address book through, run your usual filters, and
then put anything left into the spam folder.
