Oh sure, and why not an XYL with some NOS Hallis while you're at it? :)

are these the ones that are detected by the filter or are they getting 
through?

No one says you can't use more than one filter.  There are a number of 
them available at no cost.  I used to use Spam Assassin on linux, which 
has been used in a number of free Win spam filters.

One of my providers uses a commercial service called Postini.  It's 
frighteningly accurate but not available

One really great option would be Thunderbird.  In fact, I'm typing from 
it now (linux version - can't you tell?).  It's available on most 
platforms.  The spam detection is pretty good out of the box, plus it 
`learns' well as you train it.  You can set it to move the spam to one 
folder, which you can then delete wholesale if you like.

You definitely can't argue with the price. (www.mozilla.org)
