This is an old thread, but worth adding something to.
I hooked up ORBZ to my sendmail/exim, but it did nothing on the inbound
side, because apparently fetchmail hands its mail off directly to
procmail, not sendmail.
I ran an analysis, and I was getting more spam than legit email. So I
looked around and found spambouncer. It works with procmail to block
spam. As part of spambouncer, I turned on ORBZ checking. Since I
installed spambouncer, I've had zero spam in my main folder, and only a
couple of false positives. (These were things I should have tagged as
legitimate before they ever got to spambouncer.)
In any case, although spambouncer is not the only package of its kind
out there (junkfilter is the other big one), it does appear to work very
well.
