Han, Get Spamkiller www.mcaffee.com or something similar. I was in Europe last month and it off-loaded about 300 spams to a killfile in my lab, which I didn't have to pick up on the road.
It balances an aggressive phrase filter against a broad whitelist of accepted senders, including my Outlook addressbook, specified domains, and specified top-domains (.gov, .edu, .mil, org, including university and government agencies). It gets about 85% of the junk out, and only rarely gives a false positive, never a show-stopper. Just what works for me, I've used it for a year now.

The most offensive one I got was a porn spam, with the disgusting lying claim that I had opted in to receive their trash and visit their &*+@%$&* sites. I have saved another one, promising university degrees from 'prestigious, non-accredited universities'. Really! When I am at it, I will get a doctorate diploma (PhD) next month, on November 18, not from these con merchants, but for my thesis on Dutch metrication. Any list and/or USMA member who should be in The Netherlands by chance at that time is invited to attend in Nijmegen, at 15:30. Just let me know.
