While I don't know how to write the appropriate procmail recipe, I have noticed
that 98% of spam is BCC'd. Thus, if you set up a filter that screens out any
mail not To: or Cc: "ietf-charsets@innosoft.com", I believe that should screen
out most spam while allowing "normal" mail to come in unrestricted.
Does this sound workable?
