it appears that swen is finally slowing down a bit.

I am now running both junkfilter and bogofilter in .procmailrc
and junkfilter catches some of the messages that slip by bogofilter.
I reset both the bodychk and headers files back to their original form
because I had had junkfilter so restrictive that it was flagging lots
of legitimit messages as spam. I did add the following lines to the
headers file but am not sure whether or not they should work because
several of the swen messages got flagged as spam for other reasons.
The .exe file takes several names so you have to dump any email trying
to hand you one.

Does anybody see anything wrong with these?
