I'm running Evolution 2.6.3 (recently upgraded). I originally thought my
Evo (earlier version) wasn't filtering spam -- but it's just that it
took several 100 msgs to be marked as spam before spamassassin kicked
in.

To see what's happening, you need to look in /var/log/mail.info (etc) --
any obvious error messages? any 'spamd' (or 'spamc') messages???
