Yup.

What really sucks is that for any of this to work (unless you are running on a hosted/colocated server somewhere that you have control over) is you still have to waste your bandwidth to download it before you can filter it out.

I can't imagine what it would be like if I had to d/l all my email to my home box before procmail/spamassassin got ahold of it. At that point I'd have to abandon that address althother. The vintagebus.com stuff would be a little more difficult to throw away

Let's face it - SMTP as we know is severely broken.
