I've found over the years both Outlook Express and Entourage can handle spam
fairly easily. 

I have never used the Junk Mail Filter as you do have to train it. Instead,
I find it much easier to use Rules. All my personal mail comes into my
Inbox. All my listmail is sorted into respective list folders. All my spam
goes to a Junk folder which I periodically go through and delete. The reason
I don't have the filter delete them outright is in case someone sends an
important email but as a CC or BCC.

Spam is very rarely addressed to you directly so it's easy to set up filters
that say if it's not addressed to you, dump it in the Junk (whatEver) folder
or delete it.

I do get the occasional spam addressed to me directly but as it's rare,
there's no need to set a rule for a particular domain name or subject line.
I just make it a rule never, ever to respond to any spam - apart from the
make easy money and Viagra ads, of course ;-)
