no junk mail filter in evolution
Hey guys! I use Evolution for my mail/calender in suse 10.0 with the gnome desktop. I notice that it has a junk mail filter, and whenever I recieve junk mail I click on junk and it goes to the junk folder. My problem is that it never does this automaticlly. Stuff that I constantly get from a certain person I always put as junk, and still when it comes in, it goes to my inbox. I know that evolution uses SpamAssasin. I went to make sure the spamd process was running and when I typed in ps -A at the terminal i get 6 copies of spamd running. here it is 25167 ? 00:00:02 spamd 25175 ? 00:00:40 spamd 25176 ? 00:00:39 spamd 25177 ? 00:00:39 spamd 25178 ? 00:00:41 spamd 25179 ? 00:00:42 spamd How do I make evolution filter my junk mail? -- --Joe Burgess RootSmart.com Administrator/Webmaster Skype: rootsmart Email: admin@rootsmart.com VoiceMail: (206)-202-ROOT(7668) http://www.rootsmart.com

How do I make evolution filter my junk mail? In the pane that has the sender and mail info, not the mail itself, right click on the senders name, and opt to "Create Rule From Message" follow the prompts.

On SUSE 10, I have Spam Assassin installed, and in Evolution, the sa-junk plugin is enabled. But I do not see spamd running. Does evolution (sa-junk) start it when it needs it? I use procmail to put mail in imap folders. I do not use spamd there. I was expecting evolution to run it. Is that not the case when I enable sa-junk?

Of course this works on a class of messages. But I seem to get hundreds of SPAM messages per day, and I do have a job outside implementing personal SPAM control :) -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB

spamd is a system service; thus root has to start it (rcspamd start).

I don't know about evolution, but if you are using procmail, calling spamc there would be the obvious move. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDppOptTMYHG2NR9URAnBtAJ9VG34K7MLuWvEeO1IeRtvywiUtFACfRXqE mQU3sXLq8t3UI8GAd5ZiyTY= =UFaA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
