[ale] Procmail... ?

[Robert L. Harris]

Yeah, I'm very pleased with it but still have to teach it more now that
I'm off the blacklists.  I think I found what I was looking for as well.
In my user prefs for spamassassin I turned on:

spam_level_stars        1

then in my procmail rules I add this: 

:0:
* ^X-Spam-Level: *********
#caughtspam
/home/nomad/Mail/DefiniteSpam


but add it before I move "X-Spam-Status: Yes" off to the containment
dir.
