A mail filter for Linux that has some seriously cool capabilities, from
white lists to a Bayesian classifier.  It's kind of fun.  For example, I
just go this notice:

---- Start SpamAssassin results
9.70 points, 5 required;
*  1.5 -- BODY: Nigerian scam key phrase (million dollars)
*  0.9 -- BODY: Nigerian scam key phrase ($NN,NNN,NNN.NN)
*  2.6 -- BODY: Contains 'Dear (something)'
*  0.9 -- BODY: Risk free.  Suuurreeee....
*  1.1 -- Subject is all capitals
*  2.7 -- Message body has multiple indications of Nigerian spam

---- End of SpamAssassin results

It assigns points for various spam features, and if the total is high
enough, it marks the email as spam.  Pretty nifty.
