For corporate mail servers: Brightmail. (now Symantec Brightmail)

It rocks. Utterly.

Client side (at home): I'm using McAfee. It's OK, I suppose. I used to use iHateSpam but, frankly, it wasn't as good back then. If you are a home user consider changing ISP to someone who sweeps for Spam for you...

This one is awesome.

Its never let me down and filters out about 30 a day I get and puts them straight into your deleted bin so you can quickly check there is nothing you want in there and then empty the bin.

Costs a few ££ but is totally worth it IMO.

Used to take me 10 mins a day to go through all the mails and delete them individually.

We need more context really. A you a private user with a single mailbox? Are you using Outlook/Outlook Express/Thunderbird/webmail?

SpamAssassin is very, very good and free, but maybe not suitable for say a novice user with just a single email account.
