Actually, I've found that this:
if(/^Content-Type: text\/html/)
to $MBOXDIR/crap
catches more of my spam than any other of my off-the-cuff heuristics (I
mean, like at factor of 2 more, and seemingly more than the rest combined).
I read through my 'crap' mailbox every few days, and pretty much end up
just hitting 'ddddddddd....' (granted, for about 5 minutes, but better
5 minutes every few days than a few seconds a few hundred times EVERY
day, eh?). The only false positive I've had it get was a payment
confirmation from the telco's online bill payment (in the rare case that
it actually works).
Note (for those of you not familiar with maildrop) that it's only doing
a header search, so in the case of a HTML attachment or a
multipart/alternative, this doesn't trigger; only when the sole part of
the body is in text/html.
