John: I have been extremely happy with spamassassin (http://spamassassin.or=
g/),
which is a perl script that uses several heuristics to identify spam. It has
been about 99% acurate for me without any tuning! I invoke spamassassin via
procmail, using the following recipe:

	# Run incoming messages through SpamAssassin
	:0fw
	| spamassassin -P

	:0e
	{
		EXITCODE=3D$?
	}

	:0: =20
	* ^Subject:.*\*\*\*\*SPAM\*\*\*\*
	Junk/SPAMASSASSIN/

I will post my full .procmailrc upon request.
