Spamassassin is the way to go, but make sure you use sa-update to update the rules on a daily basis.
I hadn't really played much with spam assassin. Never been overly impressed by it, nor many other alternatives, nor keen on mail programs which have "this is junk" buttons without any description of what that will actually do (play silly games with to/from addresses, analyse it some other way, etc.). Though have turned on the junk filtering options on Evolution over the last few weeks, been marking junk as junk, though haven't seen it automatically detect ANY junk, at all.
So, not having heard of using sa-update before, I decided to see what it can do. It does this:
Can't locate Archive/Tar.pm in @INC (@INC
It needs Archive::Tar?
How are you installing it? (I jettison the Fedora RPM and use cpan. That gives you a "canonical" install. Before removing the RPM save the file /etc/init.d/spamassassin. It is useful when it comes time to make spamd run.)
I have a dummy spamassassin RPM that installs nothing other than the knowledge that a dummy spamassassin is present to satisfy the YUM monster.
