Spam from spam - procmail to the rescue?

Recently the amount of SPAM I get has gone through the roof. Most of it has been correctly filtered out, but quite a bit has got through to my inbox. One particularly common form has been spam from user "Foo Bar", with subject "Foo". It's very predictable and I think it should be possible to get rid of with procmail. I just need to read the man page...

"The problem with cruel and unusual punishment is that you have to keep being creative. For example, some may call it cruel and unusual to turn a spammer into spam, but by the time you feed the hundredth into the woodchipper it's become quite usual."
