Sounds like spamtricks and my procmail rules do a roughly equivalent bit
of scoring.
There are two aspect to dealing with spam. One is filtering the
messages. The other is reporting it.
The advantage to the second step is you _may_ (just may) help make the
extent, and economics, of spam less attractive. The problems are
several, among them a lot of IPSs (particularly Asian and South American
spam) which seem to Just Not Care. Still, first shot of mine goes to
the various RBL and blacklist services, meaning ISPs which can't control
spam will find themselves dropped off the Net. The "spamurl" script
notifies (usually) upstream ISPs.
My filters provide similar functionality to spamassasin. The response
scripts fill in an additional role.

Notes:
1. There's more than one way to do it, but there's also more than one
thing to do.
