Talk about killing two birds with one stone (although why anyone would do that I don’t know), but I was searching around today for managing spam on my mt dv server.  Since I moved over there, the amount of spam i’ve been getting has increased.  Apple Mail is catching the junk fine, but I wind up with thousands a day.  Then throw in the fact that the iphone doesn’t have junk mail filtering, so I wind up with lots of spam getting through to the iphone, at least until Mail sorts everything out. So, while searching around, I came across this post which talked about implementing procmail to work in conjunction with spamassasin to filter the mail server-side.  It was a very easy solution (once I figured out I was getting an error due to copy and pasting the code from the blog, which contained curly quotes), and things look pretty good so far, the spam is getting moved to my junk mailbox before it ever even gets to Mail.
