I don't normally say this but I'm frantically busy right now and can't
think straight and compose a methodical quickstart tutorial or howto.
Look in the archives under a keyword "procmail" "spam filtering" or
perhaps even "junk mail"
Also, log into your qube at the command line via ssh (you do have ssh
installed I hope) or else <sigh> dangerously insecure telnet and do a:
man procmail
man procmailex
man procmailsc

If you post followups I'll try to keep up with this thread and help you
once you get started. I'm a month away from a major move (not just job
or house but job/house/country) so it's kinda hectic around here right
now.
