I've been using "Quick Spam Filter" (QSF) as a client side filter for 
several months now.

http://www.ivarch.com/programs/qsf.shtml

It's a statistical analysis type filter using the Bayesian technique, 
similar to Bogofilter, but a little simpler and easier to set up. I run 
it from procmail which is called from the Balsa mail reader that I use.

Currently it seems to catch about 80% to 90% of the spam I get (about 1 
or 2 out of about 15 per day get through). I've only had a handfull of 
false positives.
