How do you filter?
My "utility box" that does everything -

fetchmail pops, sends it through procmail
procmail does all my filtering for lists etc.
THEN if it hasn't been filtered to another list, it goes through
SpamAssassin. I whitelist everyone in my address book.

The result has been incredible - SpamAssassin is a lot nicer now, since
it is used far far less.

Box is a 1.6 GHz Duron (the low cache on that chip can really be felt,
I'm not going to make that mistake again)
It's running headless (no X11 sucking resources) - Fedora Rawhide.

512 MB RAM
Two hard drives (ATA 100)
services it runs: apache, vsftpd, sshd, slimserver, dovecot (imap
server, how I read my mail on my main rig), postfix, bind (caching dns
for lan), ntpd

At night it mirrors several yum repositories.
Anyway - after putting the SpamAssassin recipe at the end, the box is
generally a LOT more responsive as all my mailing lists don't go through
it anymore.

Oh - and on topic, no problems with SlimServer feeding a SoftSqueeze
client. Only using mp3 though, so that's not really testing it.
