Yes! I can hardly use any mailer without this feature this days. I have configured 
filter for evolution but it is a suboptimal workaround.

I don't think spamassasin is the best solution. It is slow and I don't think it "just 
works". When I used spamassasin with evoluiton a lot of spam got passed the filter. I 
then tried bogofilter which is just a bayesian filter and got better results when I 
had fed it the same ammount of mails as I did with spam assasin. 
It is also faster then spamassasin since it is just a bayesian filter. I hope you make 
the solution pluggable, that way people who like spamassasin might use that and I can 
have it my way.

//Snaggen, likes bogofilter better than spamassasin
