I use SpamAssassin, as follows:

anthony@catfish:~> cat .forward
| /usr/local/bin/maildrop

anthony@catfish:~> cat .mailfilter
DEFAULT="Mail/inbox"

logfile ".maildroplog"

`reformail -D 8192 .duplicate.cache`
if ( $RETURNCODE == 0 )
        exit

if ($SIZE < 100000)
       xfilter "spamc"

if (/^X-Spam-Flag: YES/)
       to Mail/junk

[...]

Maildrop is not provided as part of recent SuSE versions, however:

http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/

Download, then the usual ./configure, make, su to root then run
checkinstall which will create an RPM which can then be installed in
the usual way (rpm -i).

Maildrop's configuration syntax is simple and straightforward.

RPMs for SpamAssassin 3.0.2 (the latest version) are available from:

http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/choeger/spamassassin/i386/

I haven't used these (I installed SpamAssassin using CPAN) but
presume that they work.  Once installed, configure spamd (daemonised
SpamAssassin) to start at boot time in runlevels 3 & 5 using the YaST
Runlevel Editor if you want to run SpamAssassin by calling spamc in
the .mailfilter configuration example shown above.
