Add a "me too!" to the votes for SpamAssassin.

I use a simple perl script which calls Mail::Audit and
Mail::SpamAssassin to filter my mail, rather than use procmail, then
spam checks it.

If the mail is spam, then I add the headers to the spam so I can
figure out why SpamAssassin decided it was spam, otherwise the mail
just gets dropped in one of my mail folders.

Have a look at 

http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/07/17/mailfiltering.html

(Mail::Audit)

and

http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/06/spam.html

(Mail::Audit and Mail::SpamAssassin)

Cheers.

Baz.
