I have found that Yahoo's anti-spam features work pretty well, although 
in order to access using POP, you'll have to pay about $2 per month.  
There is, however, a project at sourceforge that supposedly will access 
your Yahoo mail using the web interface, and present a POP interface to 
your email client, so you may be able to get around that.
