SPAM Filtering

Hi,

Friends...I have a problem regarding the SPAM...(ofcourse I am not the only one on this planet with this)

I neither host my website nor my mail server for external communication...both are hosted outside my LAN...

We recieve a lot of SPAM...on different mandatory mail accounts...
What I would like to do is download all the mails locally on a server and delete the mails tagged as ****SPAM****

What is the easiest procedure involved in this ... can I make use of the existing Linux Sendmail Server ...

Thank you,
Mahen

You'll want to use a combination of fetchmail, procmail, and your existing sendmail installation. Check out http://evillair.netdojo.com/howto/spamassassin.html for details on how this is done.
