Amit You can do this with spam-assasin and a qmail local mail server - which works essentially as a relay and routes the bad msgs to a special mail-dir There is a also a plethora of qmail addons in this area e.g. mail-drop which cans the message even before it hits spam-assassin using simple content filtering rules - the more complicated stuff will requires spam-aassasin. One thing we ran into is that this kind of setup requires some minding and enough server resources to work well if your server is processing a lot of mail.
