Try SpamAssassin (mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin). I use it in many of
the servers I administer and it works great. it has Bayesian
filters, so it can "learn" to tell spam from ham.

I don't use any ORBL directly, since for me they're more trouble
than they're worth, but I use them to "bump" the spamassassin score.

SpamAssassin also integrates very nicely with MIMEDefang to stop
malware sent via email.

Hope this helps
