I wrote my own spam filter in Perl. It runs on my ISP account, and deletes 99% of incoming spam. Spam accounts for about 90% of my incoming mail (measured in bytes; I'll eventually add real statistical reporting to my script. Since the spam is removed before downloading, my client app (Eudora) doesn't even see it.
I have done something similar but it uses TOP and DELE requests to my POP3 account from a Linux box operated locally. It might even be on-topic because the Linux box makes an http request to a Mac 8500, running OS 9.1, to activate an AppleScripted CLI which tells Eudora to read mail immediately after a flushing pass by Linux. I haven't tried moving the perl script to the server and I'd be interested in just how you do it.
I'd also be interested in a mechanism for including email addresses in a white list without exposing them to harvesting from storage on the server. I'd like to allow a potential correspondent to ask, via html, if he is on my white list. Check the X-password header in this message. Would such a thing be useful?
