All you need do is in Kmail>Settings>Filters Add filter - 'Size' - Greater than 1 Action -'Pipe through' spamassassin untick the box 'stop processing if filter matches' Obviously all mails will match this filter so they all go through Spamassassin Now add a second filter Any Header - Contains X-Spam-Status: Yes Action -Move to folder - Spam Make sure the second filter comes below the first filter in the filter sequence. The second filter will place all mails marked by spamassassin in a spam folder. That is it! HTH derek
