Hmmm. I am no procmail expert. I based my recipe on the suggestions linked 
from the documentation page:
http://codesorcery.net/docs/spamtricks.html

The spam is indeed being filtered into a folder in Pine, but I will keep 
your suggestion handy.

Ah, thanks for that. I am very intrigued by SA and how it works.

I see in the FAQ that "All of the free BL services are enabled by 
default." Does that mean there is a list of senders that each message is 
checked against? I do not see anything about this in the man pages. Is 
there any place else besides http://spamassassin.org/doc.html and the FAQ 
that discusses the workings of SA?

Thanks again,
