I wrote up how I used to set up spamassassin off of evolution "before evolution had spamassassin support", when I was going back to hanging spamassassin off of procmail, instead of off of evolution. Hanging spamassassin off of procmail, you still have slow spamassassin runs, but they don't slow down evolution. Anyway, here's the web page on how I used to do it off of evolution, which you likely can modify slightly for crm114. BTW, a local mailing list is saying that greylistd and/or postgrey are easier to set up and more effective than most other antispam solutions, including spamassassin. Anyone here tried it?

If so, maybe you have older spam filtering set up, which is interfering with Evo 2.x's own filtering?yup as I have been following evo for a long long time I cannot even remember when I started using spamassassin for it.One thing I'd do is make sure the spamassassin daemon is running in the background. Go to your shell prompt and type "ps -aef | grep spam". You should see something like this: [~]$ ps -aef | grep spam root 858 1 0 09:05 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -L ron 2535 2491 0 11:11 pts/9 00:00:00 grep spamIt's running and it's eating CPU like nothing before. This is one thing that really bothers me. Filtering a measly 100 mails takes 7 minutes. I timed it.Yes that is the spamassasin fault. It is slow. I've been using spamassasin for scanning my mail and in the end I dumped it, because it was painfully slow. Now I use crm114, which leads to my question, is it possible to use other spam filtering program with evolution instead of spamassasin? I get all my email through fetchmail->postfix->procmail->crm114 chain which lands all my non spam messages in my local mailbox in /var/mail/ and all spam messages in mbox ~/tmp/SPAM/crm. I created another account to check if any nonspam messages are filtered as spam, but it would be nice if I could configure Evolution to direct all my spam to Junk folder. So is it possible, or spamassasin support is hard-coded into evolution? Vaidotas Zemlys
