Hi Ralph et al.... I am getting so tried of this. As far as I can see spamassassin works. BUT I can not get the !"§$!"§ Kmail to send the emails to spamd. So far I've got 110 spams that I'm playing with. ONE and only ONE has been sent to spamd. I have two filters set up #1 sents (or should) the email to spamd <any header>:. As far as I can tell this does not work at all. Is there any way on god's green earth to just tell Kmail to send everything? Filter #2 is <X-Spam-Flag>: YES As far as I can tell this works fine. Any ideas? Thanks JIM On Saturday 23 August 2003 22:00, Ralph Sanford wrote:

Hi all...
Maybe this works with 8.0, but it damn will not work with 8.2. DOES ANYONE have Spamassassin working with KMAIL & 8.2? If so, HOW? This is driving me insane! <G>
Thanks

From what I have read and my recent experience setting up spamassassin with evolution:
1. Use the runlevel editor to turn on spamd for levels 3 and 5.
2. Also as root "rcspamd restart". (This gets it started.)
3. Change your ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs to ensure that a level is defined as spam i.e. required_hits 5 (This will likely need to be uncommented.)
4. Add a folder to your mail client called "spam"
5. Build a spamassassin filter in your mail client. Have the filter Pipe messages to "spamc -c". Any messages that return any report or does not return a value of 0 are moved to the folder "spam". Then stop processing.
This is the basic and simplest setup. The email headers are not modified, you simply filter out any messages that meet the minimum definition (5 hits in this case) of spam.
It can be refined beyond this, but try and get a basic setup first.
