    Oh, sure.  It's even simple to use, too.

    Here, I have a server across town that runs sendmail and
spamassassin, and I connect to it by IMAP.  It catches something like
99.999% of all spam...it's actually better at detecting it than I am.

    And every few hours I take anything found in my "Blacklist" folder
and 'learn' it as spam.  And anything in "Whitelist" gets learned as
'ham' or non-spam.  So the patterns are really up to date.  The best
part?  All I have to do to report a spam to my server is to drag it to
that folder.  Period.  It's beautiful, and all free.

    If you get stuck along the way, drop me a line; I'll help you with
it.
