Well, for example it can cut banners from message bodies using Perl-compatible regular expressions... You can make entrusted and prohibited sender lists entering masks (e.g. @hotmail.com), makin program search for that mask in either address or subject or whole header or combination of them. There is flexible configuration for performing many tasks, including automatic mail-checking, automatic confirmation request sending (sender must reply on it to prove he is a human ) and much more. Of course, it's not too hard to do, but it takes time on developing, programming, documenting and debugging, so... Try it
But the fact that it runs client side means that it has to use your dialup/DSL bandwidth to do all of this, right? Do you also have to keep some program running in the background on your PC all the time? The main reason I like server based solutions is because you don't have to compromise your PC's CPU, memory, and bandwidth to deal with spam.

There is a big market for what you are selling, it's just better for high volume users to go with server side solutions, in my opinion.
