Demon have just started using Brightmail filtering. We were rejecting
nearly 2000 spams a day last week, using an SMTP transfer agent - that
meant that *most* of our connect time was spent telling the server
what messages we didn't want, despite the fact that we were doing it
in the most efficient way possible (no downloading headers). The new
service zaps 95% of them unseen. Yay!!! connect time cut in half.

The SMTP filtering means that only one of those thousands of spams has
ever made it through in the last few months.

In the UK, Claranet have been doing spam filtering for much longer than
Demon and are probably even better at it.

They also have a brilliant support forum.
If you dont know how to do it, someone will tell
you.
There is a link to them on the links page of
my website

My isp has taken to filtering the mail.
They send us a "Quarantined Mail Report" every week or so, so that we
can look through it and "release" any mail that got caught and
shouldn't have. When you release or delete a message from the list it
also gives the option to whitelist or blacklist the sender.
They are also stripping viri as the mail passes through.
Even though I use pegasus and so was doing most of this anyway, it
makes email much easier and less time consuming.
The isp is quarantining about 500 messages a week as suspected spam, I
have released and whitelisted maybe half a dozen.

The only problem is if someone sends in html format or mime it tends
to get quarantined. A few people who can't live without badly
programed bells and whistles have been a bit miffed that it took me a
week to write back because I had to dig them out of quarantine. (G)
