    I just do my own. I use procmail behind bogofilter (Baysein spam
    filter on sourceforge). The single best rule _for me_ is to use a
    whitelist of friends, cohorts, partners in crime, etc, and then nuke
    all HTML mail. Most of the bad stuff is HTML. I get 99+% this way on
    2000+ spams per week. Also, real high virus control (not that they can
    hurt me, but its just more junk).

    Procmail is way too cool not to use it as much as possible (at least
    if you have to wade through lots of mail).
