It would be best if it were like a service that an e-mail client could be set to link up to before attempting to connect to a mail server. I mean, we're sending the data over the Internet anyway, why not use the Internet to, say, filter known spam into its own bundle marked "spam"? I admit there are some flaky parts of this solution, and a lot of work for everyone. Also, it would only be as good as the service's filtering. Maybe it would just be better to get some better people, like real algorithm people, to improve anti-spam software, and include it as part of an e-mail client's e-mail processing. If that could happen, I think it would make sense to make it open-source.
