Can anybody point me to documentation on how evolution handles junk mail? Meaning what rules it is using. As near as I can tell I have the function turned on, and as near as I can tell, it has never flagged anything as junk on its own. I get a number each day that are "obviously" spam, from addresses are random sequences of 12 characters with a hotmail domain. The receipt date shows as a "?" I have hit the junk button on these hundreds of times, yet it still hasn't learned whatever it needs to learn to flag the new ones itself.
Is it possible I have missed something?
Yep. Blame spamassassin ;-) This is used by evolution to filter junk. Tweak spamassassin to your likings and evolution will follow.
I guess I should feel lucky, I only get maybe a half dozen a day: I understands others get hundreds a day, but it is still annoying.
Like me :-( Although only one in about 2-4 weeks gets through, it's all in the tweaking (and learning) of spamassassin.
