I'm using spam assassin with kmail. Basically, start the daemon with spamd -d (you could add such a command to rc.local so that it will start after a reboot). Then add 2 kmail filters (not POP filters). The first filter criteria is used to prevent exceeding spam assassin's file size limit of 250K, then for filter actions select "pipe through", then enter spamc in the associated text box. Once you create that filter, be sure to uncheck the box that stops file processing because you need to run the results of that filter action through the second filter. The second filter can check for a flag in the header that is set by spam assassin. I use X-Spam-Status. You won't find this in the filter criteria drop down box but you can manually enter it. I have 2 entries for this in the filter criteria because the word BAYES is included in the line for X-Spam-Status which will give a match for "yes". So, I have one criteria looking for a match to "yes" with a second criteria looking for "no,". If both are a match, you can either send the message to the trash folder or to another folder designated for spam. Or, if you set up spam assassin's config file to insert the word SPAM into the subject line, you could filter on that. BTW, the first and second filters for this process must be the first and second filters that the incoming mail should encounter.
I hope that I did a good job of explaining this. :-) On Thursday 29 May 2003 09:49 am, Praedor Atrebates wrote: >I've gotten spamassassin working in client mode with kmail OK but it slows >down my email since spamassassin has to be started every time an email comes >in.
