The spam filter on Pegaus Mail works fine for me, and it's mine rather then being in the control of a company which is going to scan my emails. I've yet to find (and this includes gmail) another filter which is more than 90% accurate for me. And yes, I know Microsoft aren't looking at my data. Regardless of the OS, I'll require a program from a third party sitting across the net connection monitoring, logging and asking for permission as appropriate for me, and a router logging network connections as well.
