At the risk of repeating previous threads

Can anyone out their recommend any anti-spamming software, or other tactics to reduce the amount of unwanted (and often explicit/offensive) material. This is in response to an upturn in unsolicited 'post' at my present workplace, the volume of which seems to have increased significantly recently.

All replies (apart from Spam) and Monty Python sketches appreciated.

Regards

@e
