I wonder if you've looked at SpamSieve. It doesn't keep spam from  
reaching Mail, but it does quite a good job of separating the spam  
from other mail. It costs a few dollars (I don't recall how much, but  
pretty cheap), and it wants some training (easy to do). I've used it  
enough now that I rarely look at anything in Mail's Spam folder. I  
know that SpamSieve is doing the job right for me 99 times out of  
100. I would not be without it; it's been a sanity-saver.
