best way to combat porn email

Sure - 

Have a look here: http://www.sanesecurity.com/usage.htm

I am using "script "2 which requires a small amount of (easy) configuration.

To get the KAM.cf file (mentioned by Jason Ede), I have the following in a
script in cron.daily:

***************************
#!/bin/bash

#NK Set this to 1 to have no delay (for testing)
SKIPDELAY=0

#NK Set by script to 1 if MailScanner parameters need a reload
RELOAD=0

# Insert a random delay up to this value, to spread virus updates round
# the clock. 1800 seconds = 30 minutes.
UPDATEMAXDELAY=600

if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner ] ; then
        . /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner
fi
export UPDATEMAXDELAY

if [ "x$SKIPDELAY" = "x1" ]; then
  echo "Skipping update delay. Please re-enable the delay when you have done
testing"
else
  logger -p mail.info -t KAM.cf.sh Delaying cron job up to $UPDATEMAXDELAY
seconds
  perl -e "sleep int(rand($UPDATEMAXDELAY));"
fi

# JKF Fetch KAM.cf
echo Fetching KAM.cf...
cd /etc/mail/spamassassin

# NK Keep a temp copy
if [ -f ./KAM.cf.tmp ]; then
  rm -f KAM.cf.tmp
fi

if [ -f ./KAM.cf ]; then
  cp KAM.cf KAM.cf.tmp
fi

/usr/bin/wget -N
http://www.peregrinehw.com/downloads/SpamAssassin/contrib/KAM.cf

if [ "$?" = "0" ]; then
    if ( tail -10 KAM.cf | grep -q '^#.*EOF' ); then
      mv -f KAM.cf.tmp KAM.cf.backup
      echo "Update completed"
      RELOAD=1
    else
      echo "ERROR: Could not find EOF marker"
      cp -f KAM.cf.tmp KAM.cf
    fi
else
    cp -f KAM.cf.tmp KAM.cf
fi

if [ -f ./KAM.cf.tmp ]; then
  rm -f KAM.cf.tmp
fi

if [ "x$RELOAD" = "x1" ]; then
  echo Reloading MailScanner and SpamAssassin configuration rules
  /etc/init.d/MailScanner reload
fi

I am game to add anything that will not cause a big hit on performance. 
Do you have a good doc link to a howto?
