My opinio is that they'll do a better job, universally. Spammers will aways find open, still unidentified relays. When I'm not mistaken, SpamPal only queries RBLs. Don't always trust RBLs! If the 'wrong' relay gets caught in an RBL, you can end up with 100% false positives. Bad RBL, no cookie. POPFile is a bayesian filter, SpamAssassin (and SAProxy) have a rule base. Each rule gets assigned a score which is determinded by a genetic algorithm to yield the lowest possible false negative / false positive quotas. Special attention is being paid to avoidance of false positives. Both programs are open source and continually being updated and enhanced.
