Due to recent complaints about spam, I've installed backports of
SpamAssassin and Razor on peri. You should be able to create a
.procmailrc that runs your mail through `spamc` and filter according to
mail.

Below is a sample $HOME/.procmailrc that should eliminate most
of your CSC spam:

--- BEGIN .procmailrc ---
#LOGFILE=${HOME}/procmail.log
VERBOSE=no

# Run through SpamAssassin
:0fw
| spamc

# Delete anything recognised as spam
:0
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
/dev/null

# Eliminate duplicates
:0 Wh: .procmail.lock
| formail -D 8192 ${HOME}/.procmail.cache

# Forward to my e-mail address. Use this instead of $HOME/.forward
#:0
#! us...@example.com
---- END .procmailrc ----

You can customise your SpamAssassin installation by creating a
$HOME/.spamassassin/user_prefs file. The Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf(3pm)
man page has values that you can place there.

Please e-mail systems-...@csclub.uwaterloo.ca if you have
any problems with our setup.

!!! WARNING !!!
You can lose e-mail if you have this configured incorrectly.
Use at your own risk.
