On my distro (Mageia) there is (link to home page) :
bogofilter.sourceforger.net
spamassassin.apache.org
https://xavierleroy.org/software.html#spamoracle
(maybe others less easy to find)

I noted a comment on the popfile site that says it won't work with 
multiple connexions using SSL.  Maybe the problem you ran into ?

I would strongly favour local filtering for spam, since in my case most 
server side spams detected were not (gmail, yahoo, laposte), and often 
actual spam was not detected.
(I use laposte since it gives me very little spam, and I can't turn off 
spam detection on gmail.)
