SuSE + Spam Assassin for KDE
Hi, Is the above avail and if so does anyone have any prefered mailing lists specific to SuSE or are most of tem distro non specific? Reason I ask is that I recently installed SA but when I looked for the menu entry under KDE I did not find it. Not finding some sort of GUI for it I uninstalled it. Would the CLI one work if my GUI MTA and client is Mozilla mail? -- ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Licenced ex-Windows user (apart from Quicken) Registered Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Using SuSE 9.0 with KDE 3.1 ========================================================================

Uhhh I think you have a mistaken view of what SA does. SA is an email FILTER... and as such it has an input (a single email file) and an output (the email file with modifications as to whether it is or isn't spam in the view of SA) There is *no* gui for SA, nor is there really a CLI interface. It is a filter. You will not find SA in your KDE menu.

Uhhh I think you have a mistaken view of what SA does. Thanks for correcting me, I was partially mistaken.
SA is an email FILTER... Much like the Mozilla filters I can setup?
... and as such it has an input (a single email file) and an output (the email file with modifications as to whether it is or isn't spam in the view of SA) OK. Could I set both the input and output file to be the same. I would like to invoke it whilst I am receiving mail and have all the SPAM and junk marked as such in my Mozilla 'Inbox'.

I have a GUI for my Mozilla filters! If SA is not found on the KDE menu nor does it have a CLI interface, how the hell do I start it, help it learn, stop it etc? Whilst I am sure this list can answer the questions is there not a SA list that I could monitor for a while and ask questions on as I think SA is a little OT for this list? -- ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Licenced ex-Windows user (apart from Quicken) Registered Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Using SuSE 9.0 with KDE 3.1 ========================================================================

One of the ways you can achieve this via a procmail rule.

Read the manual. For training the psuedo Bayseian stuff, the program is sa-learn.

Yes.

Would the CLI one work if my GUI MTA and client is Mozilla mail? No, it works like this (one of the ways, at least):
You configure fetchmail to download your mail. Fetchmail passes it on to postfix (or sendmail, depending on what you installed). Then procmail delivers it to your /var/spool/mail/user or ~/Maildir/ depending on how you configure it. You mail program picks it up there. I think (might be wrong, haven't used mozilla for mail in a while) that mozilla can't pick up local mail, so you might have to configure a pop server for that. Hans

I think (might be wrong, haven't used mozilla for mail in a while) that mozilla can't pick up local mail, so you might have to configure a pop server for that. Mozilla collects my POP mail np from my ISP. Is this the same as what you mention above?
If my mail retrieval method is OK, can SPAMASSASSIN be set up like another filter ie via GUI or CLI? Or could I set it up to grep the Mozilla mail folders for SPAM according to rules I set in the SA config file? I have given the SA a bit of a rest at the moment on the SuSE list as I think the SA lists are a better forum for this and I have to sort out a few other things first, asides a Mozilla filter I set up nails alot but not all of the junk.

I don't know if it does, but at least you can use procmail to dump new emails on any folder mozilla is using for input. The snag is that it doesn't notice, or not inmediately. That's the way I use it, when I want to view an email with mozilla. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

You are of luck: configuration of SpammAssassin is by editing configuration files with a text editor: no GUI.

Read the manuals... I don't remember if mozilla can apply filters using external programs. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
