Spam filter required

Hi All,

Does anybody know of any effective free spam filtering software for OSX Leopard...? Am running Entourage 2008 as my email client.

Entourage has a built-in Junk Mail filter. Have you enabled that?

I do have that enabled but was wondering if there was anything better. Have it currently set to low to catch the most obvious ones but it doesn't do a very good job. Do you recommend I increase it to high...?

Stop being cheap. Every Mac/Unix user know the king of SPAM filtering is SpamSieve.
