Spamassassin works quite well, but the real trick is to reject as much as 
possible before reception is complete. If you can use an RBL is sendmail 
vs an RBL check in spamassassin then the choice is clear: Use the RBL in 
sendmail to cause rejection before reception is done. You will have 
rejected the mail and never see it, the sender knows you refused it, and 
load on your server will go down.
