I use Content header filtering in Mail to put all spam in it's place.
When a spammer sends you an email if you preview it. It sends a
ping back to him saying that hey Eric's email address is good and we
have a live one.
It is put in the good email list. So to lessen your spam load you want
to not allow Html emails to
go into your main inbox but into a filtered inbox in Mail.

See tis link on how to set it up.

Ok,
I've been getting tons of spam recently. Lots of chances to buy drugs
without a doctor from lands unknown, a few chances to win lotteries,
and even one long lost family member who recently passed away and left
me 4.2 million Euro and a home on a Greek isle. But I also got an
email this morning warning me that I had a w32.swizzor.c-worm. It
appears to be from Symantec. Now I suspect this to be nothing more
than another spam or fishing exercise. I have virus barrier x5 on my
mac that should catch it. A recent scan should have caught it. I
haven't been looking at pretty ladies or downloading the new Star Trek
on chinese web sites or anything. So, what do you all think? Thanks
for your help.
Eric
