Ditto.
I use a combination of things. It has worked quite well without
inconveniencing legitimate senders.
First line of defense is spamcop. Yes, it is a pay service, but it isn't
expensive and it -works-, and it makes it easy to send complaints to the
right people or simply ignore the spam. All non-list mail I receive gets
routed through spamcop via procmail with a rule that looks like this:
,-----
| :0
| * !^X-SpamCop-REPORTSPAM.*
| * !^X-SpamCop-Checked:.*
| * !^Return-Path: <owner-ding@hpc.uh.edu>
| ! samurairat@spamcop.net
`-----
Only reason I do that is because I get a lot of list mail and running it
all through spamcopy would be slow, not neighborly, and would probably
block a lot of otherwise legitimate stuff.
Second line is DCC invoked on every message via fetchmail, formail, and
dccproc:
,-----
| mda "/usr/bin/formail -b | /usr/local/bin/dccproc >>/var/spool/mail/ratinox"
`-----
And Gnus traps spam based on the X-DCC-*-Metrics headers that dccproc
generates.
Very little spam manages to get through all of that.
