Can anyone recommend a good third party spam filter for Mac OS X?

I use SpamAssassin, which works wonders. I use it in the form of Eudora plugin, which also exists for OSX. I'm pretty sure I remember the existence of a standalone OSX version as well.

Works great and it can be used as a mail sorter as well as a spam filter.

If you don't mind bouncing it through the 'net, I have HUGE reccomendations for spamcop.net from some friends who swear by it.

I run a national internet provider. Each of the options that have been recommeded are good, but totally depend on the operating system. So, I'll go with another OS preference (Linux) run qMail with rblsmtp (with assorted spam agents, such as spamcop spamhaus, etc), also apply Russ Nelson's executable patch, and finally run qscanq passing emails through clamd. I get no spam/email virii,s same things with my clients (same thing with commercial clients).

If you need help with directions, just ask. It's actually pretty simple.

"Simple" as defined by a Linux user. ;)

Of course I'm not one to talk, as I do spend as much time as possible on the command line. Even installed Cygwin just to get a bash prompt at work.

Thanks! If I'm ever on linux, I might try your suggestion.
