I was looking for a good, easy to use, and free spam filter that works on OS X. After some searching, I found ASSP. It really works great, and is easy to use, set up, and admin. The only trick one needs to know is to change the postfix smtpd 'listen' port. You have to edit the file named master.cf located in /etc/postfix, and change the line that reads:
