Iiiieeeuuuuupp. procmail is the ticket. OTOH, verizon seems to stop
quite a bit, my nightly SA report only averages about 5% spam in my
incoming, or less than 70 spam msgs in a given day. Apparently they
haven't found my gmail account yet, its activity, after proving it
works, has been zilch.

'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-)
