Re: spamassassin w/ evolution?
You can install spamassassing with apt-get install spamassassin. Set
/etc/default/spamassassin parameter ENABLED to 1. Make sure the spamd
service runs from /etc/init.d/spamassassin Then use the following procmail
recipe to tag the mail:
UMASK=077
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
DROPPRIVS=yes
:0fw
| spamc
>From there you can filter it based on a variety of rules. The best one to
use I have found is:
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
caughtspam
This will send all mail to the caughtspam folder in mail. I recommend
against /dev/nulling the mail since sometimes mail gets missconstrued as
spam. Only happens 0.5 out of 10, but it does happen.
One of the best places to put the whole recipe is in /etc/procmailrc. It
will look like this:
-- CUT --
UMASK=077
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
DROPPRIVS=yes
:0fw
| spamc
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
caughtspam
-- CUT --
Just be careful with procmail. It has a habbit of destroying mail at
times when misconfigured.
