spamassassin is easy, I just have procmail pipe it to spamd like this:

:0fw
| spamc

:0 H
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
/dev/null


if you still get spam, just view the email headers and se what the score 
was.  I was suprised to find some major spam messages coming through with 
a 0.0 score.  Its a tough problem to beat sometimes..
