My main email address has been activate for about 3 years and thus gets a lot of spam. Are there known methods inside Fetchmail or procmail to filter out 'spam' into a separate folder for later viewing?

I filter everything that mentions me in the address lines, or looks like a mailing list, into their own folders. Everything else goes in "uncaught" and I read that folder a *lot* less often.

I'm using slocal/.maildelivery, so the basic idea is:

# .maildelivery file for nmh's slocal # Blank lines and lines beginning with a '#' are ignored # FIELD PATTERN ACTION RESULT STRING

# Trap fscking badtrans From <_ pipe R "/home/markj/usr/bin/badtranswarn"

# Filter some mailing lists To ezine@author folder ? lists-moderated # All our lug-related lists into one folder List-Id lug folder ? lists-lug Sender ebi.ac.uk folder ? lists-lug # LUG box still uses pre-list-id majordomo Sender lug.org.uk folder ? lists-lug

# Try to catch all other lists in the bucket List-Post . folder ? lists Delivered-To "mailing list" folder ? lists List-Id . folder ? lists X-Mailing-List . folder ? lists Sender owner- folder ? lists

# Things really addressed to me To markj@cloaked.freeserve.co.uk folder ? inbox Cc markj@cloaked.freeserve.co.uk folder ? inbox

# Put anything not matched yet into uncaught default - folder ? uncaught

If not, do people on the list use services to eliminate the spam? There has to be a better way than 'download and delete'.
