Since I run spamassian as part of my .promailrc file, I significantly
reduced the overhead of checking for SPAM, by having procmail bypass
known mailing lists. Since this is about 80-90% of my daily mail, it
was a big help.

This way I get no false positives and 2 or 3 false negatives a day, a
rate I can live with.

At least in my case, more than half of the email here comes from yahoo groups.
bypassing SPAM processing for them really cut things down.
