Brightmails 1 in a million figure does not stand the test of time in independant tests (anti-fud?). Can you forward the account to another pop box? If so forward it to your cpanel host and turn on spamassassin & a delete content rule. Try using SpamAssassin locally and getting your pop box delivered by SMTP using fetchmail.
