*sigh*  That's what I intended to ask as I read the previous mails.

Bullshit. Sorry, Tony, but that is plain FUD to me.

You can entirely disabling filtering through SpamAssassin in Evolution.
No one is forced to. IMHO it is a better approach in UN*X land to use
applications, that already exist and proved to work very well. SA does
for you. There is no need to implement a Bayesian filter for any mailer
out there.

As Charles mentioned, those mails are being sent using a web form. Well,
without seeing the mails and SA reports, I would not hesitate to bet
that there is an old and known to be broken script used. [1]

Sorry again Tony, I don't want to be offending or confrontational. And I
sure don't want a flame war, but IMHO you where overreacting.


I'm not too happy with SA being used by default, too. Any user should
decide to *enable* it, not disable it. And the additional dependency
isn't fun anyway to me.

Then have in mind that 1.5.x is *development* software. It is not yet
intended for the users out there. Hopefully a proper documentation,
warning and maybe a defensive default (SA disabled) will be part of
Evolution 2.0. (Anna, Aaron?)


Thinking about it: Is it really *that* hard to see a bold mail folder
right below the Inbox with (700) next to it?

[1] If so, update that script. Otherwise, any brain dead spammer can
abuse it.
