*Warning: Personal Opinion*

I never highly value client side trainable spam filters.  But then I 
guess I'm apparently the only one who checks my mail from 4 different 
locations (3 different computers with Thunderbird running and a webmail 
interface).  So anything client side isn't good enough for me.

I'd recommend to use spamassassin with bayesian filter on individual 
mailboxes at the server side.  Just make sure the client has a way to 
train false positive and negatives.

However, I'm pondering to add graylisting (using OpenBSD's spamd) to 
reject spam messages earlier in the process.
