[pmmail-list] Built-in Anti-Spam

[Markus Baertschi]

I'd like to avois having to install & maintain a second tool besides
PMMail just for spam-filtering. PMMail is already very strong in its
filter capabilities, a feature like dnsbl support would not add much
weight.
I quite like the statistical approach discussed in http://www.paulgraham=
.com/spam.html
(discussed in a separate thread). But again I don't want to spend my
time tweaking another tool to make it work.
