I've begun using junkfilter, a massive procmail script available from http://junkfilter.zer0.org . It's pretty effective at catching spam, and I think there's an option to use the RBL to catch open relays. My only complaint is that each message spawns a seperate procmail process, each of which takes about ten seconds to complete on my P-200, and running N messages through procmail at once (i.e. after fetching them with fetchmail) raises my process load to about N/2. I've avoided this my putting the junkfilter at the end of my .procmailrc instead of at the beginning, since I don't get much spam on any of my mailing lists. Hope that helps.
