Ahh...

I've gained enough confidence in the most recent version of SpamAssassin to rip out a huge chunk of my Rube Goldberg spam filtering system, which combined ESR's bogofilter, which I had been using for a year or so, an earlier non-Bayesian version of SpamAssassin, and a HUGE blacklist that I used to teach procmail about spam with a really grotty script.

I decided to throw out bogofilter and rely on SA, because that seemed the better horse to back, if one is only backing a single horse. I still need to rebuild my .procmailrc, but at least I can delay that for a little while.

(Yes, my entire email system does resemble that brilliant Honda commercial, without the windshield wipers. You should see the MUA side, with its ten years of scripts written in sh, bash, ruby, python, and scsh. Really.)
