I run postfix, spamassassinn & imap on the server. I use blocklists to
reject known spam sites, postfix header checks to block misconfigured
mail servers (eg the helo name must be well-formed and resolve) and SA
to mark up probable/possible spam.
It's my view it's up to individual users to take it from there, using
SA's markup to filter in their email clients.
Note, I don't change the subject line, they need to filter on SA's headers.
For myself, I mostly point pine at the inboxes and delete offers of
low-cost software and of personal performance improvers and such: pine
does not go opening the next email, unlike the Mozilla family.
