First off, let me say, my incoming mailbox, which I've switched to ~/mail/mybox, is huge. I'm trying to set a good example for my endusers, by not leaving this large quantity of mail in my maildrop, /var/mail/strombrg. We used to have antispam via spamassassin on our mailserver, but we had to turn it off, because it was loading the poor old machine up so much that it had ypserv problems. Why ypserv is so flakey is a story for another night. Anyway, I set up a filter which "Pipes message to shell command" spamassassin -e (with a hard path), and refiles the message if there's a nonzero exit status to my "evospam" folder. It's not working. I'm bummed. I get HUGE quantities of spam. Anyway, if I save one of these new spam messages into /tmp/msg, and then run spamassassin -e < /tmp/msg (with a hard path again), I get an exit status of 5, which would seem to be what evo needs to do its thing, no? I also clicked "tools/settings/receiving options/apply filters to INBOX on this server". Do I have to leave my mail in my maildrop(/var/mail/strombrg) for this to work properly? I'm using an sslified uwimapd, if that makes any difference. I'm eager to switch to dovecot, possibly with maildir, but I have to find the time somewhere.
