If it's just the cumbersomeness of procmail that's bothering you,
use a filter that generates procmail rules. I made one for myself:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/cats2procmailrc/
It turns simple one-line rules into procmail clauses.
Example:
spam SPAMMER from:info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
spam SPAMMER from:@mailadmin.org
spam SPAMMER from:gsk1976@xxxxxxxxx
That's "folder label pattern".
Now these rules drop things in the "spam" folder. Do what you like.
I actually do my spam filtering with bogofilter and spamassassin for
the grey area messages, but all my other filing (lists to folders etc)
runs from a big procmailrc made from such rules.
