SpamAssassin, which is actually a combination of anti-spam programs/filters: /usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin I have had great success with it using Bayes, Razor2, Pyzor, DCC, and the URI RBL checks. I have recently added SPF and DomainKeys. Note that the licenses for some of these are commercial or non-free, but that mainly applies to commercial use. If you're a home or non-commercial user, you can enable them, but you have to do it manually with the .pre files in /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin Also note that Bayes is only effective with proper training, so you should have a good sample of actual spam you receive. If not, it will take a while for Bayes to learn enough to be utilized. I get no false positives and almost no missed spam (well over 99% accuracy), but I am not running it on a multi-user mail system, though I do use it for multiple addresses.
