RE: [Evolution] Spamfiltering for .. well, for people who are try ing hard but don't know everything

Title: Message

I have spamassassin installed on Suse 8.2 and evolution 1.4, I have created two filters one sends it to spamassassin the other checks the headers.

 

the first rule looks for a . (dot) in the senders address and since all emails have this it then pipes this to spamassassin.

 

The second rule looks for the woard SPAM : YES then moves into a junk folder.

 

If you goto KMails website it gives you examples there on how to do it with KMail and its just the same princible that you use in evolution.

 

Works for me.

Because "newbie" and "dummie" are so over-used these days.

Where can I read more about implementing Bogofilter, Spamassassin, etc in Evolution.

I understand the general concept (new mail is output to an external program, gets a return code, is moved to folders based on return code), but I can't seem to figure out the specific application steps. If there is a HOWTO or FAQ, that would be lovely.

I'm running Evo 1.4.4 connecting to external Pop3 servers (pretty basic).

Thanks!
