I just downloaded spamassassin and bogo-filter and am going to experiment.
I like the idea behind bayesian filtering and am hoping it is what I am
after. Anyone else have another setup that works well for them?

Dee, if I do install SA or bogo-filter using these filters will it drop
the msg at the door or does it process the spam and send it to the users
junkmail folder? Also, how do you handle double-bounce messages that are
caused by the "no user at this address" and what do you do with messages
that have no valid return address or no dns. Do you filter these out by
using the 'mfcheck' or something else? Do you accept these msgs? If so,
why?
