As Corion already suggested in the CB, have a look at SpamAssassin.

Take a look at disspam.
Been using it for 3-4 years and it's good stuff. It's using RBL or Spamassassin to check emails. You can also configure own filtering options.
Basicly it's just a CGI script with a config file, so it's easy to set up. Run it as cron and forget about it.

Perl != CGI.

Sorry, of course I meant PERL script, not CGI - got nothing to do with CGI.

Since you've written the program, it shouldn't be too difficult to toss in something to scan the headers and subject line, and shunt mail meeting some criteria on an exclusion list -- which you would work out -- to /dev/null.
I'm not sure of any specific modules/packages out there for this off the top o' me head, but I'm sure there are a few out there, and if not, do what we all do from time to time: write your own. :)
Hope this helped,

Another alternative would be PopFile. It's a Bayesian spam filter written in Perl. It uses SQLite on the backend but can be modified to use MySQL. | [reply] |
Yes, POPfile is the way to go. You can use it as a sort of proxy and it works totally transparant. You just connect to POPfile as you would connect to your e-mail POP-server and POPfile picks out the spam for you.
