Ok, here's the headers from your Mailing list posting (only the ones of intrest: (In kmail, right click a message and choose Show Source...)
OK John. Please excuse me for being real dumb/stupid. When I right-click a message in kmail I don't get a "Show Source" .
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.61 (1.212.2.1-2003-12-09-exp) on pen.homeip.net X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-4.2 required=3.9 tests=AWL,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=2.61 ------------- See that header called X-Spam-Level: ? That will have asterisks after it when it is spam. Example from my trash bin I look at the headers of one arbitrarily trashed message and I see this:
Again, please excuse me for being dumb/stupid. I don't see the header X-Spam-Level : with the asterisks
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.61 (1.212.2.1-2003-12-09-exp) on pen.homeip.net X-Spam-Level: ******* X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=7.4 required=3.9 tests=BAYES_70,HTML_20_30, HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_08,HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=no version=2.61
So I right click on any spam message in my inbox, and say creat a filter, on headers, and enter "X-Spam-Level: ****" (without quotes) as the header I want to filter on.
Are you saying that now that I have taught Spamassassin what is spam, that now as each new message comes in that I have to create a filter for each new message? Evidently I am missing the whole procedural thing about setting up Spamassasin.
So I might see a few messages that are still spam (those with only 3 or 4 asterisks, (as a safety feature) but the rest go striaight to trash.
OK, I understand the concept. It's the mechanics to do that which is throwing me. Bob S.
