A lot of spam can be blocked by the ISP... however, many ISPs are incompetent in this respect. My ISP uses an upstream SP to handle mail; I was totally unimpressed by these people, so I setup my own domains and mailer (postfix). Details at http://pfortin.com/Linux/PostFix/ If you are relying on an ISP to receive your mail; you're at their mercy as to what will end up in your mailbox... that said, you then have the choice of downloading either a) the entire message or b) just the headers and deleting from the server without wasting your bandwidth. Dunno about Kmail; but sylpheed-claws (http://sylpheed-claws.sourceforge.net/) can pretty much help here... Not sure if 0.7.4 stable has the feature fully implemented; but it *is* being worked on... I use shypheed-claws and don't miss all the other mail clients I've had to suffer with in the past. Another option is SpamAssassin (http://spamassassin.taint.org/); but I can't comment on it cuz I don't use/need it... not sure if it can save your bandwidth, of if it is an "after message is downloaded" filter...
