Re: [Evolution] FRQ: spam-complaint

[Emmanuel Tychon <etychon cisco com>]

There is a plugin in outlook that allows you to report spam directly to
www.spamcop.net. Those guys are doing an excellent job at contacting
service providers and eMail owners, for free.

In outlook, when you receive a spam, click on 'Submit to SpamCop' and
that's it. The email is sent to your spamcop account, and is reported
accordingly to the interested parties.

Easy, simple, efficient. 

In a general sense, a plugin mechanism would allow this without change
evolution's own code. Pretty much like in Mozilla, we don't need that
much complexity here.
