John: I have been extremely happy with spamassassin (http://spamassassin.org/),
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=$?
        }

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

I will post my full .procmailrc upon request.
