Ah those ads are so enjoyable. :-) You'll have to use fetchmail to get the mail from your isp's server then procmail to sort it and then spamassassin to filter out the spam(or at least that's how I do it). I belive togan's unofficial faq has a chapter on it. http://toganm.tripod.com/fetchmail.html The how to's are in /usr/share/doc/packages. There's a procmail, fetchmail, spamassassin and perl spamassassin how to. You can also search the archives or go to http://www.netsys.com/suse-linux-e/index.html to search the archives for spamassassin or procmail. -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.2 Pro

No, you don't. I'm currently using Kmail and Spamassassin together without a local MDA, and have been doing so since December 2001. Try going to http://kmail.kde.org/tools.html You should find a simple step-by-step guide to making it work with a regular POP feed. hope this helps, Gideon Hallett.

Wish I had seen that earlier. It appears that when you are piping messages from KMail to spamassassin that the Spam Header is being added to the email. This does not currently work for me with Evolution. Perhaps I have set my preferences incorrectly for spamassassin. I have user preferences set to: report_header 1 use_terse_report 1 Should these preferences be changed?

Apparently on Evolution you have to check the return code from spamc, and not wait for any header to change. I call "spamc -c" on my Evolution filters, and check the return code - if it's not 0, the message is spam. I wrote a tutorial on this subject, but it's in portuguese.

Ok, I really really want to stop the hot girl ads etc. So I installed Spamassassin. But now what? I don't see anyway of getting the damn thing to start working! I use KDE and Kmail...
(1) Configure Kmail to fetch mail from the local spool. (2) You should fetch your mail with a program that fetches your mail to the local spool, for example fetchmail, (3) Make should your local MTA (Postfix, Sendmail, etc) is set up to use procmail for local delivery. (4) Now use the attached file as an example for your ~/.procmailrc. I would suggest you use the spamd daemon, in that case you should start it at boot time. IIRC, SuSE already have the rc script set up, so all you have to do is enable it in the run level editor. If you don't want to use spamd, just replace "spamc" with "spamassassin" in ~/.procmailrc. (5) Now you could either setup the filtering rules with procmail or just use KMail's filtering (look for the header: X-Spam-Level:). The recommended set up is to filter anything with a score of 5 or higher (the number of"*" in the header). I suggest you filter it to a spam folder rather than the trashcan in case of false positives. Charles -- "Besides, I think [Slackware] sounds better than 'Microsoft,' don't you?"

I just got spamassassin working here on evolution, so I may be able to provide some direction for you. First, how do you receive your mail? Most of the instructions for using spamassassin assume that you are using some combination of sendmail, fetchmail, qmail, postfix, etc. to retreive your mail and that your mail client (KMail) receives the mail from a local directory. If this is true in your case, then the recent archives of the SuSE list will provide a wealth of information about setting up procmail and spamassassin. However, if your Kmail is set up to fetch email directly from your ISP (pop3, etc.) then you have a bit of a problem. Your mail is going directly from the ISP to the mail client and there is no place for spamassassin to interact. I have absolutely no idea about the capabilities of KMail to execute external commands. Using Evolution I have a filter that can pipe the mail to a shell command. The filter I use pipes to "spamc -c". If there is ANY output from this command (spamassassin declaring that the email message is spam) then the message is filtered to a spam directory. If there is no output from this command then the message is filtered normally through evolution. An alternative command would be "spamassassin -e" instead of "spamc -c", but that command would not gain the advantages of the spamd/spamc scripts. This filter is placed after the filters that routinely deal with messages that are not spam, such as mailing lists or other known correspondents. Using spamassassin through the Evolution filter there is no spam modification to the message and therefore no reason or advantage to pass every message through that filter. This set-up does not generate spam headers or modify the incoming mail in any way. It is a very simplistic binary type filter (spam/ham). Spamassassin makes the determination if the message is spam based on the user_prefs file. I have not found a way to grade the spam into "definitely spam" and "possibly spam", or any other subtleties of spamassassion/procmail. But in the 48 hours that this method has been working on 2 computers the results have been phenomenal. I had saved spam from the last 2 months and had 3,100 email messages of spam to use with "sa-learn --spam" plus I activated blacklist filters from www.stearns.org. To activate spamassassin, go to runlevel editor and turn on "spamd" in runlevels 3 and 5. In /home/user mkdir ".spamassassin". Then cp "user_prefs.template" from /usr/share/spamassassin to your new .spamassassin directory. Rename the file to "user_prefs" and modify the preferences to suit (see man spamassassin). As a minimum uncomment the required number of hits. As root restart spamassassin "rcspamd restart". At this point spamassassin will be working. If you have enough saved messages (spamassassin should really have 1000 spam and 1000 spam messages for learning) then run sa-learn. The commands I used are; sa-learn --spam --mbox /home/ralph/evolution/local/Inbox/subfolders/spam/mbox (all on 1 line) sa-learn --ham --mbox /home/ralph/evolution/local/Inbox/subfolders/personal/mbox Hope this helps you get spamassassin set up and running with KMail. Not really a 1, 2, 3 guide on how to set up KMail (more of a 1, 4, 6), but as mentioned I have no idea of the capabilities of KMail in this method. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, rsanford@telusplanet.net - should you trust your government?

I use Spamassassin with Kmail and get my mail directly from my Isp. This is how I do it. I add the following two filters at the bottom of my filters in Kmail. 1 Filter Criteria - Match all of the following <any header> contains . (thats a dot) Filter actions - Pipe though spamc Apply this filter to incoming messages. 2 Filter Criteria - Match all of the following X-Spam-Flag equals YES Filter actions - move to folder spam ( a directory i created) bounce Apply this filter to incoming messages -- If this filter matches stop processing here. Thats it. When I get spam its put in a directory called spam so I can check it out and then the mail is bounced. I also put in my boot.local /usr/bin/spamd & so the spam thingy is running when the box fires up. Hope that helps. Btw this is on Suse 8.0 cheers, Glenn

I run spamassassin system wide, before it goes to the users mailbox. Its invoked by sendmail ->procmail -> spamd (spamassassin_ >mailboxes... It does not delete any spam, just flags them in the usual way and then let the sender filter in Kmail or what ever they read mail with. I do this on 4 or 5 systems I maintain and it works quite well, better in most cases that trying to get Kmail to run spammassassin. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

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. HTH -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, rsanford@telusplanet.net - should you trust your government?

Not sure if this is the problem, but KMail will NOT filter e-mail in IMAP folders. i.e. it will check the folder, and it will show new messages, but it will not filter the messages until you manually tell it to. So if your e-mail is in IMAP folders, then there is no way that I know of to get KMail to automatically filter it with SpamAssassin/spamd. Of course this is a moot point if you use POP for e-mail. AFAIK, there is NO way to get KMail to filter messages in an IMAP folder automatically (i.e. on mail check). On Sun, 2003-08-24 at 12:50, James Hatridge wrote:

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
Hello, We run qmail-scanner + SpamAssassin + ClamAV. (See the header on this e-mail.) Now using this setup, it works easily as qmail-scanner has the ability to mark SPAM for SA.

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) :

This is an italian howto... but the cfg files are "international" SuSE centric. http://www.webthatworks.it/docs/howto/f-p-sa-pm.asp And here there are newer rpm for SpamAssassin. http://www.webthatworks.it/docs/rpms.asp Not the newest... actually I've built the newest... but I forgot the password of my ISP <shame>.
Hi Jan, I notice you're using Kmail. I followed this site's info and it worked a treat: http://www.softwaredesign.co.uk/Information.SpamFilters.html Try using just spamassassin first before you use spamc. After I got that working, I editted runlevel 5 (using Yast2). I didn't enable it in runlevel 3, since I'm not using Kmail in that runlevel - well it's a bit tricky without X running!

Where is that filter? Is that the exact wording? What programs are you using?
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 ?
Because you only set it up to start on this session. Go to network configuration, in Yast, and configure it. It is probably not starting because it is not configured in the first place.
b) Could that be the cause of my problem ? (I have understood that 'spamd' requires 'network')
Perhaps. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
