Server wide blocking w/ an rbl of your choice:

http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/rblsmtpd.html

Server wide or inbox specific filtering w/ bayes capabilities:

http://spamassassin.apache.org/

Or, don't run a mail server...which is the most effective.  ;)
Obviously there are many other programs you can use, however I just 
provided two off the top of my head.
