Akismet : anti-spam (free for personal use)
http://akismet.com/
Automattic Kismet (Akismet for short) is a collaborative effort to make comment and trackback spam a non-issue and restore innocence to blogging, so you never have to worry about spam again.
In the spirit of helping the blogosphere as much as possible, we've decided to make Akismet free for as many people as possible. We have free API keys available for your personal blog.
"Before Akismet I was spending more time deleting spam than creating content. Now I can focus on actually blogging!" When a new comment, trackback, or pingback comes to your blog it is submitted to the Akismet web service which runs hundreds of tests on the comment and returns a thumbs up or thumbs down.
The Akismet API can be adapted for almost any application with submitted content, including forums, wikis, and contact forms.

Windows Messenger Spam Elimination Freeware
http://www.grc.com/stm/shootthemessenger.htm
Windows Messenger Spam Elimination Freeware
In addition to being a security risk, Windows' "Messenger Service" is being used to "Spam" Windows users across the Internet.
This 22 kbyte "Shoot The Messenger" utility gives users immediate control over the Windows Messenger service
The first thing to understand is that the Windows Messenger Service is completely different from, and not in any way related to, "MSN Messenger", "Windows Messenger", or any other well-known instant messaging system. Therefore, disabling the Windows Messenger service will have no effect upon your use of any other instant messaging applications. They will continue to work without trouble.

SpamBayes (free)
http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/
SpamBayes -
The SpamBayes project is working on developing a Bayesian anti-spam filter, initially based on the work of Paul Graham. The major difference between this and other, similar projects is the emphasis on testing newer approaches to scoring messages. While most anti-spam projects are still working with the original graham algorithm, we found that a number of alternate methods yielded a more useful response.
SpamBayes will attempt to classify incoming email messages as 'spam', 'ham' (good, non-spam email) or 'unsure'. This means you can have spam or unsure messages automatically filed away in a different mail folder, where it won't interrupt your email reading. First SpamBayes must be trained by each user to identify spam and ham. Essentially, you show SpamBayes a pile of email that you like (ham) and a pile you don't like (spam). SpamBayes will then analyze the piles for clues as to what makes the spam and ham different. For example; different words, differences in the mailer headers and content style. The system then uses these clues to examine new messages.

SpamPal is free software; you can download and install it entirely free-of-charge. This isn't a trial, or a crippled cut-down version to tempt you towards an expensive "full" version, or a package loaded with spyware to steal your personal details - the fully-featured version of SpamPal can be downloaded and used without imposition or restriction!

POPmonitor ... for Apple OS
http://www.vechtwijk.nl/dev/popmonitor/
Wouldn't it be great if you could delete unwanted e-mail or spam before it reaches your e-mail application? Or delete messages with large attachments without downloading them to your computer first? Or get rid of viruses sent by PC users?
Well, POPmonitor lets you do just that!
With POPmonitor you can take a peek inside your mailbox and delete unwanted e-mail without the need to download those messages first. Just login, select the unwanted messages and click 'Delete'.
It's as simple as that.
You can also automate the removal of unwanted messages by creating lists of trusted and blocked senders and by creating custom filters based on several criteria. Another option is to bounce messages right back to their sender to simulate a non-existing e-mail address.
Other e-mail applications only filter spam after downloading it first. But thanks to POPmonitor you can get rid of spam and other unwanted e-mail before it reaches your e-mail application.
(POPmonitor does not work with Hotmail and AOL)
