One of the easiest ways is to use ClamAssassin:

http://drivel.com/clamassassin/

The README file that is provided has some installation instructions on
how to utilize it with procmail.

You can then setup a filter in Evo if you do not want the e-mail
automatically deleted (ie. send it to /dev/null with procmail) and would
prefer to manually deal with it.

There is also an article at FedoraNews:
