This reminds me of something I've been meaning to ask for some time: does 
anyone know of a good light-weight spam scoring software to use in 
conjunction with Spamprobe? This can be pieced together with fancy procmail 
rules but I think there should be a more elegant way to do it.

Normally I would go straight to SpamAssassin but it's a large piece of 
software and unnecessary when spamprobe is doing most of the work.

What I'm looking for (or might possibly write) is a tool which would use 
the Spamprobe score as one input among others, notably some RBL/DNSBL zones 
such as Spamhaus or perhaps other custom inputs such as the procmail 
recipes for detecting image spam.

This might be useful to many Spamprobe users, since we often find it 
desirable to throw in an extra check such as some DNS-based blacklist or 
custom procmail rules WITHOUT making those an all-or-nothing decider.
