If you're using procmail, you've got an excellent way too hook in 
other spam-fighting tools. I'm a big fan of spamassassin, which can be 
added to your procmail filter like so:

    :0 fw
    | spamassassin

    :0 h
    * ^X-Spam-Flag: Yes
    /dev/null

Mutt has the ability to parse headers (like those generated by 
spamassassin and most other anti-spam filters) and read out a "score" 
that can then be used anywhere standard mutt patterns can be... but I 
don't use this feature (procmail serves me very well here).
