           Summary: spam-filter wizard does not use "not in addressbook"
                    feature by default
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: sven.burmeister gmx net


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

If I use the spam-wizard to set-up spam-filtering via bogofilter, the 
"check-rule" only includes "email not larger than x". Since kmail provides a 
whitelist-feature, i.e. "not in addressbook", this should be added as criterion.

If this is not enabled by default because checking against every single contact 
in all addressbooks is too slow, I would suggest the following, if it is doable 
with akonadi. There has to be some possibility, since thnderbird can do this as 
well.

If one would create a sub-list of just the domains that are in the local 
addressbook, this would increase performance by quite a bit, since only those 
emails that have a matching domain have to be checked against all contacts in 
the addressbook.

An example:
Suppose I would work at kde.org, i.e. I have a lot  kde org addresses in my 
addressbook. So if 5% of my the spam-emails  I get use  kde org, only those 5% 
have to be checked against all contacts with  kde org in my addressbook. Those 
95% with other domains, which do not have a domain that is part of my 
addressbook do not cause any query-traffic.

Another, quicker approach would be to include a checkbox in the wizard that 
asks the user whether to use the addressbook as whitelist or not.
