My fave is SpamPal which makes it easy for me to custom configure my/its
dnsbl/s - because I make the dnsbl/s 'tight' - tight because I can
'simply' whitelist all of my goodmail and have no false positives.  The
only filtering I do on the body with it is a regex and url plugin.

This item would have been caught by the cbl dnsbl condition at the
least, maybe more.

My preference is AVG, but that's mainly because it is 'good enough' and
free.

mailbox
