I use procmail, along with Lars Wirzenius's procmail spam filters. You
can get both with:
apt-get install spamfilter
Note that Lars's filters are extremely fascistic, and you can generate
bounces (and annoying "You spammed me" messages), particularly to
mailing lists. However, it is pretty effective -- I'm automatically
catching several spam messages a day, which I didn't even realize until
I'd checked logs. Some of the workings remain a bit of a mystery,
though I've mapped a lot of it out.
