[plug] spam filtering

[Shayne O'Neill]

Having just (FINALLY! WOOOOOOT!) gotten exim4 running , and putting the
sa-exim package on that interfaces to spamassassin, I've noticed to my
amazement that the spam has seemingly vanished. Whereas I was getting 100+
emails a day, 70% utter garbage spam + phishing attempts, Its down to
maybe 20-30 in the last day , all real email and email lists.

Also rulesdejure is awesome (syncs the rules up to the latest stuff from
rules emporium).
