you happy to learn perl, you can do anything with sendmail/mimedefang :)

 RL> (see http://snoop.alphanet.ch/antispam/
 RL> korea-china.html for the reasoning)

some stats for how much spam from this areas being dropped to /dev/null ?

 RL> and now we live pretty spam-free. I could never do this with UMS, 

okay you could not do it, but ums can hooks up for somehing like this with
rfc library :)

 RL> alas, and ontop of that spamassassin is quite CPU intensive.

SpamAssassin is not it self cpu hungry, but the perl api is, it could take
alot of memory when running :)
