And why? I don't see any logical reason behind this advice, unless
Evolution calls spamassassin in some strange way.

In fact, I've just kept using my installed spamassassin (i.e. I've done
nothing) and Evolution is building nicely on my existing database. It is
*much* faster and more reliable than the previous solution when
spamassassin was called by Evolution 1.4 using a shell command in a
filter.

I am using Fedora Core 2 Linux, with Evolution 2.0.[0,1,2] from the
Fedora Core 3 development and a spamassassin-2.64-2.1.fc2 from the DAG
repository.

Honestly, a more experienced opinion would be helpful then.
