Linux people are expected to to use the tools at hand, and with all

pointless to blame this list for spam.
I'm on a half dozen lists, some with my "Real" email address which
gets filtered by spamassassin and some with this gmail address which
gets filtered by Gmail (very effective).
You can use Kmail to read your gmail via pop or imap, and still enjoy
the filtering. I have less than one spam per month on Gmail, and less
than 5 per week on my company email (which has to be less rigorous to
accommodate customers behind corporate email systems which tack on all
sorts of spammy disclaimers etc).
Seriously, the OP should come here asking for help with Spamassassin
or Kmail's filtering options rather than complaining about the list.

If the server took the title, message and attachments and then
repackaged them in a mail sent by itself and with "reply to" also set
to itself the originators email address would not be in the email
source. The tracking information wouldn't be either.
You might wonder why I would suggest removing the tracking
information too. I do not think it would be wise to elaborate on that
on this or any other list. It can be seriously abused. It is
sometimes too.
I don't think the Internet is a good match for you. May I suggest a
nice, quiet, safe library?
