Though this is off topic, might as well answer at the same
time. The following is what I have set up. It's not too
fancy. It doesn't toast the mail, it merely sticks it into a
'spam' folder. This is the only way to be safe about spam.
Periodically I go through the spam folder and manually check
for anything worthwhile, deleting the rest -- it's usually
pretty fast to do this.
