Netscape/Thunderbird are good at junk mail recognition.  One
warning:  Symantec anti-virus will lock your mailbox if you receive
a virus.  (At home, I had to set Symantec not to scan my
Thunderbird Inbox, which kind of defeats the purpose of having
anti-virus in the first place).

OPLIN has installed (but not yet enabled) SpamAssassin on the
new mail server that we implemented November 11.  It will label
potential junk messages for people with oplin.org email accounts.
Those messages will still come through to you (OPLIN cannot filter
content), but you can set up rules to send those messages into
a particular folder.
