I tried using spam busters after I successfully was able to use procmail the destroy sircam, but spam-busters also destroys too much regular mail.

My suggestion is create your own spam filters in eudora's filtering option.  IF your filter does not destroy your good mail, than create a recipe based on this filter.  That is the route I am taking.  What I have found in my procmail recipe search is almost always over zealous filters.

Maybe we should start a Cobalt related spam recipe exchange? A site we can upload and download our recipes for each other. (totally free of course).
