The best STRATEGY for controlling your mailbox is:


YES Pass-List

first get all the mail from friends and businesses and mailing lists
safely in your inbox

NO Content-Filter like SpamAssassin

to weed out the stuff you KNOW is spam


MAYBE Challenge-Response

send a note to everything that gets past the above asking them to
paste an included password on the subject line and send it back.

if the address is a forgery, then it doesn't come back
and you know it's spam or worse.

(use the Reply-To address first, and the From: address second)



Procmail can do all of the above, including calling SA, easily.
