Hello, I followed all steps in the message of 23 August below, but 'no joy' ! In addition to step 1, the runlevel editor told me to activate the 'network' service as well (this was not active yet). My filter says : if From contains iae then pipe through spamc -c Now, when I send an e-mail from my other "iae" account, I just get the following message line in my inbox : No Subject -- from sender : Unknown -- on date : unknown When I deactivate the filter, then any message from the same origin arrives well in my inbox. The one strange thing I notice is that when I have a look again with the runlevel editor, I see that the 'network' service is not active anymore ! a) How can that be ? b) Could that be the cause of my problem ? (I have understood that 'spamd' requires 'network') Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, On Saturday 23 August 2003 22:00, Ralph Sanford wrote (in another thread) :
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.
