i would personally use spamcop.net if i were concerned.  they are cheap and use 
a very good set of
methods that do not involve challenges or silly text scanning.  i use them to 
report spam and a
friend uses their filtering service, he's delighted with it.  i have no 
connection with them other
than being very, very happy with their reporting service which i use regularly 
(and such reporting
does help reduce spam, you tend to be taken off the spam list since they really 
don't want to be
reported to their isp, including those that host their site!).  i've found all 
other filtering to be
nothing more than a pain that makes the problem worse.  i'll refrain from cross 
posting this unless
the list mom thinks it's ok in this case, cross posting is another small 
annoyance with a few list
members so i won't do it myself.
