I'd like to thank Joey for his help with procmail on LISC irc
(irc.linpeople.org#Debian).
You can find a good example at Lars Wirzenius' webpage. If you are
interested please take a look at http://www.iki.fi/liw/mail-to-lasu.html.
As to what I have done, I process mailing list, pull out e-mail from
trusted addresses, and check the remaining mail for spam addresses and for
strings commonly found in spam. After I get it to a final state, I was
thinking of submitting it to the procmail maintianer for addition to the
/usr/doc/procmail/examples directory.
