Hi Luis,

You are most likely not filtering out the spam on your end. The GNU setup
only tags spam messages with several header lines starting with X-Spam. It
does not block any message from reaching you. In order to separate spam from
real e-mail, you need to set up some filtering on your end. I use procmail to
drop all messages tagged as spam in a separate box, with a recipe like this:

:0
* ^X-Spam-Flag: YES
personal/spam/

I hope this helps,
Ward.
