What's the problem with Spam Assassin? I had the impression that running
it in daemon mode was relatively CPU-cheap, and re: Bill's post, I don't
see how you could stop spam before it was sent. Maybe before it was
received (which I guess is what you meant).
Anyways, I was about to do my spamassassin/procmail config THIS VERY
WEEKEND, so this topic seems relevant.
