I haven't upgraded from Evo 1.4.6 yet, and probably won't until 2.0 is
released. But I am running spamd and am using procmail to filter
messages through spamc:
# send mail through spamassassin
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc
All of my procmail recipes (there aren't many) just dump the filtered
mail into /var/spool/mail/darren where Evolution fetches it from and
filters it into various folders.
Now I was about to start tweaking my procmail recipes when I realised
that of course I'll soon (I hope) be upgrading to Evolution 2.0 and it
also filters messages through spamc. What I wanted to know in advance,
before I start tweaking my procmail recipes, is whether you can still
use Evo 1.5/2.0's built-in spam filtering, and especially the ability to
mark messages as spam or as not-spam and have them run through sa-learn,
whilst switching off Evo's running spamc on every message (because that
will already be done by procmail).
In other words, is the configuration option in Evo 1.5/2.0 an
all-or-nothing turn spam filtering on or off, or are there more
fine-grained configuration options?
In this case I would suggest using procmail to do the spam checking and get it to set the spam status in the header.
Then in evolution, don't use junk filtering but use a manual header-check filter for the spam status header to set the junk status on the message; or just move the spam to a special folder. The 'mark junk' buttons etc will still operate even with junk filtering stuff turned off, and run the learning stuff to tune things.
