Default filtering spam by words in body or buying rules?

Hi it possible to delete spam from server filtering based on words
in email body as viagra or loans?

Some hosting control panels offers regex but if you have many emails
accounts on different hostings that's a problem.

It would be great to do so from OE.

Or does exist a set of rules to import to filter common spam?
I'm using cactus spam filter, works good but I receive still lot of spam.

No. Message body rules have to be downloaded first so the rule can be
applied. Sending it to Deleted Items is the best you can do.

A third party pluggin would be great: check server using regex or something
and delete there then let oe download the good messages.

Here is some bad news. There is no way to check the body content of the
email message without transferring the content from the server to the
local PC. Even a third party plugin would have to do that. Even if you
only wrote the content to RAM, instead of HDD, the bits would _have_ to
be transferred from the server to the local computer to make any
comparison.
