The current anti-spam software of choice is Spamassassin: http://spamassassin.org/ It works by assigning a "score" to each message based upon characteristics which correlate highly with spam (e.g. subject lines in all caps, the use of the word "free," etc.). The user can then set the threshold (score above which mail will be tagged as spam) manually and then configure his mail client or other mail filtering software to handle the presumed-spam as desired (trash, bounce, send to a specific mailbox, etc.)
It's primarily designed to run on Unix variants, so you could "probably" run it on your Mac if you have Perl, procmail, and fetchmail installed. Alternatively, see if your ISP offers shell accounts and procmail access.
