Client Side Spam Filters

Client side spam filters are used with your mail client rather than working on the mail server. They are generally a less effective means of filtering spam on a large scale, but are useful if your ISP either cannot filter all of their spam or refuse to. Some client side filters will work with any mail client whereas others are built as plugins for a particular program.
