Procmail + formail = excellent. I used them to build a system that makes
unknown senders go through a confirmation process. There are other packages
out there to do this, but a procmail solution was the easiest to implement
for me. It's basically a way to rid myself of spam forever.

But... I haven't turned it on yet because it hasn't been adequately tested.
The last thing I want is to be digging through the backup file and find
something important that was not delivered.
