You know, I've found that spamassassin combined with greylisting takes
care of 99% of the spam I receive.  I don't have to sift through anything
anymore, as spambots usually don't make the second attempt necessary for a
first connection with greylisting implemented.

It's trivially easy to set up with postfix.

Mike Shade
