thx for this, peter!

i decided to nip things at the source with
 
spamassassin
sa-exim

following parts of these guides:
http://commons.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php/SpamAssassin/Integrating_SpamAssassin_with_Exim#Spam-Checking_All_Incoming_Mail
http://www.stearns.org/doc/archives/spamassassin-setup.v0.5.html

i can also black/white list things there, and even managed to block
myself which gave me great pleasure for some reason. the plugin for
activating shortcircuiting has moved from v310.pre (as one guide
indicated) to v320.pre

sa marks things as **** SPAM **** and i can filter
out on arrival. 

seems to be working nicely for now.
