procmail and spamassassin are your friends.  Here's some key bits from
my .procmailrc

#
#  Paul Johnson's procmail filters.  
#
#  This is how I do things...I've adapted my MTA to give some extra

#  in spammassassin, in case you run along a header not normally found.

DEFAULT=/var/mail/baloo

VERBOSE=off
# need not be on when not debugging

MAILDIR=/home/baloo/Mail/

# for procmail logs

#  Dynamic Mail filters
#  The following set of rules use the matching ability of procmail to
#  dynamically filter mail based on parsing one of the possible
#  mailing list headers.  This means you can subscribe to new mailing
#  lists without having to add lines to your procmail filters.  Very
#  Good Thing (tm).  
#  I have no idea where I found this at this point, but
#  Mr. Poster of the Procmail Magic, wherever you are, we salute you.
