I vote for SpamCop, too!

You can configure your SMTP server to use their Blocking List and prevent 
receipt of most SPAM.

Then you can report the spam that you DO receive and help the WHOLE WORLD 
reduce its SPAM!

This on top of any other filtering mechanism you may be using or decide to use 
in the future.

Goto www.spamcop.net to see how it works.
