I asked this on alt.os.linux. I was told to search freshmeat.net for a perl script called "poppy." It will get headers only, and ask what you want to do with the mail one by one, but it also includes a script called spamkill, which does okay. I'm debugging some changes I made now. I tweaked it so if my email isn't in the To:, Cc:, or Bcc: header it should be considered spam. Right now To:, and Cc: both work. Any other headers that I need to check for? BTW my normal traffic had been 23-30 messages a day for about two weeks, it was close to half that 2 months ago. I know I've topped 350 in the last 24 hours. I wonder if this is a particularly nasty bug, or we're feeling the effects of Verisign's decision to claim *.com and *.net?
