Has anyone had any experience using spambouncer (aka spambnc) while
subscribed to mailing lists?  all aclug and other mailing lists are
getting thru and sorted by procmail into User\ Groups/<grp_name> as
they're supposed to, but any spam sent to freebsd-questions is also
getting thru, but it is delivered to my inbox instead...

i have spambnc setup fairly 'anal-ly', sans some of the RBL, etc
checking, since most of that is done by sendmail...

here is my .procmailrc:

-----
#Set on when debugging
VERBOSE=off

#Replace `mail' with your mail directory (Pine uses mail, Elm uses Mail)
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail

#Directory for storing procmail log and rc files
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail

LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.spambnc
INCLUDERC=$SBDIR/sb.rc
#INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.junk
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.friends
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.maillists
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.system

:0:
* ? test -f ${MYEMAIL} && \
    (${FORMAIL} -zxTo: -zxCc: |\
    fgrep -i -f ${MYEMAIL})
| ${FORMAIL} -A"X-Folder: Default" >>${DEFAULT}
-----

as you can see, the spambnc stuff is performed before any of the other
filtering...  also, does anyone know what the last rule does?  i saw it
in the ex. procmailrc w/ spambnc, and it said it helped clean up the
mailbox, but it's a bit more advanced that the simple filtering rules
i've written...

i understand i'll never be able to be 100% spam-free, but i would much
rather have to check my junk folder now and then for real mail than have
to sort thru spam in my inbox...

thx!
