Use procmail to filter your incoming mail with an "anti" spam tool and use
option "Filter messages through procmail" (Mailbox configurator) for Balsa.

At home, I use bogofilter (bayesian antispam filter) and SpamAssassin (rules
based antispam tool) to filter spam and it's work very well.

Example of my .procmailrc :

:0fw: bogofilter.lock
* < 256000
| bogofilter -u -e -p

:0:
* ^X-Bogosity: Yes, tests=bogofilter
$MAILDIR/spam-bogofilter

:0fw: spamassassin.lock
* < 256000
| spamassassin

# Mails with a score of 15 or higher are almost certainly spam (with 0.05%
# false positives according to rules/STATISTICS.txt). Let's put them in a
# different mbox. (This one is optional.)
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
$MAILDIR/certainly-spam

# All mail tagged as spam (eg. with a score higher than the set threshold)
# is moved to "probably-spam".
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
$MAILDIR/probably-spam

:0:
$MAILDIR/inbox

Regards, Foxy.
