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

My limited experience with spamassassin in SuSE 8.2 is based entirely upon using Evolution as as the mail client that also retrieves mail from my ISP pop.mail server. I could not get the email headers to be modified with any Spam notice, regardless of the settings that I tried. This means that in my limited experience the 2 filter method will not work. I use the one filter method and pipe the messages through "spamc -c". I tried several possible parameters, but only the -c seemed to work. If spamc determines that a messages is not spam it will report a "0", and spam will report a "1". My filter is set so that if email piped to spamc does not return a "0" it is moved to the spam folder and then processing of that message is stopped. I have seen the various methods about using KMail to call spamc and then filter on the spam headers, but I could not get the spam headers to be added regardless of the settings that were tried. For me the only method that worked was a single filter to spamc -c. This spamc -c method does not alter the messages in any way, so it is very hard to tell if spamc is working, except that the messages end up in the spam folder. No idea how this may or may not work with IMAP. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, rsanford@telusplanet.net - should you trust your government? DH/DSS Key - 0x7A1BEA01
