Thanks for all the replies.
I use procmail already to filter my mail into different inboxes by subject.
But I don't think procmail can be configured to look up the remote servers
in the various RBL lists.
AFAICS, Scott Nolde's suggestion also suffers from the same problem: you
have to keep the spammers list up to date manually.
Anyway, I've now found Mail::SpamAssassin on CPAN, which may be the way
forward, as an additional filtering step.
