I didn't try Agava Antispam Servant, but I have tried BayesIt, K9 and
SpamPal.  SpamPal was nearly 100% accurate for a long, long time, but
started missing a large proportion of the HTML stock tip spam.  I've
never had a false positive with SpamPal.  It's a nice
set-it-and-forget-it spam filter.

K9 was okay, but it seemed to need constant training (at least it did
for the type of spam I get).  It also gave a lot of false positives,
so I had to monitor my spam folder regularly.

I never understood why, but I was getting about 10% accuracy with
BayesIt despite training it with hundreds of spam and non-spam
messages.  I was frustrated, so I dumped it.

As you can see, my criteria for a good spam filter are accuracy, no
false positives, and ease of training.  Free is nice, too :)
