a better way if you have control of some/all of your mail servers
spamsender -> your-mta w/ yourspamfilter -> bounced_back_to_spammer
- 90 - 99% of all spam can be bounced here
spamsender -> received_on_mta -> procmail/spamfilter -> pop_server
- too slow, since each user has to setup their own
procmail/spamfilters
once its on your popserver, you're supposedly download spam-free emails
