I use, recommend, support, sell (Sniffer) both Message Sniffer and SpamCheck.
Message Sniffer is subscription based and includes updated rule bases. Updates are generally 3-4 a day. SpamCheck is free, and is configuration file based. What SpamCheck does amoung others is check a lot of body coding and such and in doing so not as resource intensive as body filters in Declude. Both are valuable tools for Declude.
