Re: [Evolution] strange spamassasin problem

[Richard Bown <richard g8jvm com>]

Hi Patrick

I've tried sending to wife g8jvm com with both bogofilter and
spamassasin selected .
I was using bogofilter with the previous mailer, Claws-mail.
and still get the same effect of the mail appearing in both her inbox
and junk.
My Mail provider uses spamassasin on their platform, and I can see from
the headers that its not being marked as spam there.
If I send mail to wife g8jvm com and immediately exit Evo, and then
monitor its delivery on the webmail site of the mail provider and two
android clients, the email lands in my wife inbox.
when I start Evo , using IMAP on all clients, as soon as Evo syncs with
server, the email also appears in the junk folder on Evo and on the
webmail server, also appears on both the android clients too.

Very weird

I have downloaded the stable tarball for 3.28, but I'm running a
Cinnamon DM so not sure how well it integrates , it maybe why Mint have
held the Evo version at 3.18.

words of wisdom appreciated
