Procmail works great, I use it for sorting mail and doing a few other
things but I gave up using it for junkmail detection, (9spam/virii).

Maintaining the rules became a chore.

I installed bogofilter, a Bayesian mail filter, trained it on a large 
chunk of spam and non-junkmail and I haven't had any problems since.

Even the recent waves of Windows based virii pretty much left me
untouched (except for slowing down the web).

There are other Bayesian systems available for Linux as well.

Good luck.
