I'm running fedora 3 with (I think) defaults: postfix, mailman, amavisd-
new which includes spamassassin.  Hooking up amavis required some minor
config file edits.  Heavy lifting was provided by the packagers and yum.
It blocks about 80% of the total spam coming through.  I assume some
tweaking could improve that, but I rely on spambayes with my email
client to filter the rest.

Bill McGonigle's changes to his server
	bfccomputing.com (Postfix)
have eliminated spam from the python-talk list.  I used to delete 3 - 10
spams per day.
