SpamAssassin, which is actually a combination of anti-spam 
programs/filters: /usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin

I have had great success with it using Bayes, Razor2, Pyzor, DCC, and 
the URI RBL checks. I have recently added SPF and DomainKeys. Note that 
the licenses for some of these are commercial or non-free, but that 
mainly applies to commercial use. If you're a home or non-commercial 
user, you can enable them, but you have to do it manually with the .pre 
files in /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin Also note that Bayes is only 
effective with proper training, so you should have a good sample of 
actual spam you receive. If not, it will take a while for Bayes to 
learn enough to be utilized. I get no false positives and almost no 
missed spam (well over 99% accuracy), but I am not running it on a 
multi-user mail system, though I do use it for multiple addresses.
