I was just reading about spamassassin and mimedefang.  Apparently,
spamassassin is designed to work with, among others, mimedefang, so they
can work well together.  Of course, I've never done this, just read the
info.

Also, the makers of mimedefang have a commercial spam blocker that works 
with mimedefang.  I suspect that spamassassin works with it in the same 
way.

I think I'll try at least one of them soon.  Unfortunately, it's only my 
hosted account that gets a lot of spam -- the others are pretty spam-free.
