See if you can log onto your BIS server and set up some type of filter there. It's not going to be the greatest in the world, but it may help for a while.

As for the actual berry itself, not that I am aware of.

nice read, have had a couple of things sent to me that seem to come out of nowhere, but so far the filters and disposable addresses work nicely. I use the disposable ones for ordering things online

This might be a little more on the BES user side of things, but small businesses or individuals using BIS might be interested too, as you can get the product as a standalone without exchange. We switched our exchange hosting to a company called Appriver several months ago, and have been absolutely AMAZED by the spam filtering they have (it's called SecureTide)... we went from 8 users receiving about 30,000 spam messages combined coming through (most went into the junk box, but still, it's annoying) to only getting about 10 to 15 spam messages a month (for all 8 users), and they all go into the junk box on the clients. It's crazy. I probably get one to two spam messages a month if that that manage to sneak through.

I am actually a lawyer who sues spammers. You should visit the FTC.gov website for more information on how to fight spam.
