Thanks for the suggestion. I too have had spamassassin set up through procmail, and prefer to do it this way. However, in this case, that means spamassassin is still running on our mail/NIS server, which means ypserv will continue to get snockered.
I turned to doing the filtering via evolution, because then I expect the
filtering will be done on a different machine - one which doesn't have
problems associated with high load.
