Personally, I'm using SpamAssassin with both the Bayesian Filters and Vipul's Razor. Razor is the implementation that creates a checksum on the message and compares it against a database of reported spam from others. This may be the collaborative system you were trying to remember the name of.

I have only once gotten a false positive with SpamAssassin, and that was in a message from Network Solutions. Go figure. Their email asking me to confirm that I wanted to transfer my domain away from them was ridden with spam-terms.

I still get about 10 spams per day that make it through the filters. If you're concerned about legitimate mail not making it through, you can change the sensitivity level of SpamAssassin from the default, which is 5.0 on a 10.0 scale, I believe.
