You could switch to Mozilla Mail/News (or Minotaur) betas, which have built-in Bayesian spam filters. Or switch to GNUMail.app, which can invoke SpamAssassin externally. Or use Gnus (emacs console mailer). My notes on MUAs[1] say some of the others support "filters", but you'd have to find out in each case whether that suffices for your spam-filtering needs: Columba, Cronos II, CSCMail, EC, Evolution, flap, Grendel, Ishmail, KMail, Mahogany, PMC, Polarbar Mailer, Pyne, Spruce, Sylpheed, TkRat, TradeClient, XCmail, XFMail (open source); and jamail, spaces, and UMT (proprietary). (The foregoing list is X11 mailers only, omitting console mailers.) Odds are that setting those up for specifically catching spam would require work: If you're looking for a preconfigured solution (which is likely), look for anything that can hook in a call to _procmail_ on mail you're POPping. If you can get to the incoming message stream with procmail, then connecting SpamAssassin or BogoFilter is easy. One way to do _that_ might be to fetch your mail bundles using fetchmail rather than your MUA. The same batch job that gets your mail would then be able to pass it through a spam filtering program (SpamAssassin, BogoFilter...). Again, this isn't prepackaged, so might take some work, sorry. Me, I just do my spam-filtering right on the MTA host, which I can do because it's _my_ host. ;-> [1] http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/linux-info/applications-muas.html -- Cheers, "Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first Rick Moen woman she meets, and then teams up with three complete strangers [EMAIL PROTECTED] to kill again." -- Rick Polito's That TV Guy column, describing the movie _The Wizard of Oz_ _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
