Yeah, same here. I use Gnus and it's nice, but occasionally I want to erase it
from the timestream.

It wouldn't be too hard. I'd suggest you start with Tuomo Valkonen's Riot[1]
and go for something like mutt.
I'm sure you could steal lots of useful code from Peter Simons' Postmaster[2].

Speaking of which, I've tried to use Postmaster for my own personal domain,
ScannedInAvian.com, but I've had various difficulties. Is anyone else using it
for their domain? I'd like to find anti-spam features that match those of
postfix, like greylisting, dns name checks, etc.
