Just let it write to an mbox file or Maildir which you once a week or every 2 weeks observer with just a few, quick looks. Then, if nothing good in it, kill all confirmed SPAM. I would start at about 5 or 6 points by SA to normal SPAM folder, up to 15 points to a certain SPAM folder, up from 15 to a very certain SPAM folder. In your .procmailrc you have to let the message pass the rules from high SPAM level check to lower level. > Now, as for the recipe.
