I've recently installed the Spamassassin filter for Kmail. It sure removes some spam, but not nearly enough. Typycally it will remove approximately 75 out of 175 spam messages, leaving 100 left for me to sift through.
I've let it learn what is spam for a week or so now, with absolutely no impact on the ratio. Obviously, I wonder if I register spam in vain, did I forget something, do I have to few messages (don't know how to see the numbers, but I guess I have 1-2.000 spam messages registered), or is it not that efficient to have identified spam as I thought?
spamassassin can do a good job as part of a multi layered spam defense. If you're only running on a pop3 client then most of the measures will be beyond your control. Greylisting and sanity checks at the smtp gateway are the most important supporting factor. Also important is the use of network tests: razor, RBLs, Finally, spamassassin itself should be kept up to date, and supplemented with the basic rules pack from rules emporium. If at all possible, spamassasin and friends should be server side. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
