I am new to this program (I presume this is the newsgroup for Grendel), but, am a long time Usenet denizen. If Grendel allows you to filter on headers then filter on To: and Cc: headers that *DO NOT* contain your valid email address. Send these messages to a folder (don't delete them) and periodically check the folder for valid messages that have come from mailing lists, legitimate(?:) bulk mail, etc. This will typically catch 99% of all spam.
