spamassassin is probably your best bet. It can be configured a number
of ways. One way is to implement it as a milter with sendmail.
Another, that I have used in the past, is to implement spamassassin via
procmail. Both methods should work quite well.
Another spam fighting tool that I highly recommend in combination with
spamassassin is greylisting. I used milter-greylist with sendmail and
it reduced spam from 3000-6000 a day to 5-10 spam a day which
spamassassin handled easily. Greylisting actually kept my mail server
from getting stressed as it did sometimes during spam storms.
