SpamAssassin, as mentioned by others, is a great tool. It has rules for
classifying SPAM *and* has a Beyesian filter.
SpamAssassin doesn't filter the mail, though. That's what procmail is for.

Are you using seperate mailboxen?
If you use IMAP she can connect using a remote client. Same with POP, but
POP sucks :). You don't need SMTP to serve up the mail boxen, that's what
IMAP and POP are for.
