Killing spam

[Noah John Gellner]

I use spamassassin and it seems to work well. It is pretty easy to set
up too. You will want to personalize the filtering engine on SA so that
it deletes what you consider spam. I 'delete' all spam into a spam
directory. On the first 'training' I had around 1000 messages. Now I use
cron to run the SA trainer nightly. So far the software works really
well for me. There are many helpful Howtos online as well.

Another package you might want to look at is Bogofilter. You can use it
in combination with SA too if you want.
