Hi folks,
Looking for a simple spam-control howto. I have tried setting up
bogofilter & spamassassin in the past & I've always run into trouble;
the process sometimes seems incredibly complex.
Any help out there?

In order to get rid of all the spam that I get due to posting to public
archived mailing lists etc., I subscribe to mailing lists through a
gmail account. Gmail spam filtering is quite effective and filters
almost 95% of the spam. But the gmail web interface is not that great
(no thread view, cannot easily delete emails etc.,). So I use pop
functionality of gmail account and read these emails by using
thunderbird (you can also use other email clients such as mutt etc.,)
The above solution works 90% of the time but it is not the proper way of
spam filtering (I think). But hey! it works and I dont need to spend
time about reading thousands of lines of documentation.
That sounds like a pretty good filter rate. I'm relying on Thunderbird's
built-in spam filter which is meant to train itself but it's no more
than 60% to 70% effective. Adam
