User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.28i

You use Mutt, a wonderful MUA if I must say so myself...

I don't know how you currently handle your email.  Whether you use IMAP
folders in Mutt or fetchmail to fetch your mail and store it locally.
If you do the later you can easily implement bogofilter and spamassisin
on your local machine.  I have all my suspect email deposited in
~/Mail/Junk.

I don't use spamassisin, just bogofilter.  Here is my relevant
procmailrc snippet...

:0 f
| bogofilter -p -u -l

:0 c
* ^X-Bogosity: Yes
Mail/Junk

:0:
* ^X-Bogosity: Unsure
Mail/Unsure


Hope this helps!
