Because spamassassin (even via spamc/d) when it processes every incoming
email message really exhausts my 266 MHz machine i first filter out most
messages
via procmail. Like all messages from this list (and others i am subscribed
to) are 
whitelisted as well as addresses from work and friends. All messages
containing
 p*nis enlargements, Viagra, etc... are blacklisted via procmail. Only
messages i 
can not tag myself and get through my procmail filter are passed into
spamassassin
to finish the job. I even have my required value set to 2.0 and i hardly get
false 
positives because most valid mail has already been handled by procmail and
delivered 
into my mailbox. This combo works very nicely.
