I have exactly this same problem with an additional difficulty. My ISP
allows two mailboxes. One I use for correspondance and access it with
Mozilla and the second I use for the debian mailing list and I retrieve
the postings with fetchmail and view them with mutt. When the ms mail
bomb spam reached 70 per day I used apt-get to install spamassassin on
my box (testing, 2.4.20 kernel) and found old correspondance which I had
been saving has been deleted - not moved to trash - while there has been
no effect on my mailing list mailbox. I started through the README's as
above but have not been able to resolve the problems.
I plan to go to the spamassassin mailing list next but, seeing this
message, I have added my experience.
