Naah. It's whatever you want it to be. Read below.
* KMail and SpamAssassin (thanks to Colm Buckley and Gideon Hallett,
2001-12-16)
Spamassassin is a pretty advanced set of Perl modules that analyse
mail and online spam-databases (RBL, Vipul's Razor) for matches; and
flag stuff as spam if it matches enough traces; and you can configure
its behaviour (typically in /$HOME/spamassassin.prefs); a good SA
setup takes out 99.9% of spam.
Most of the literature around seems to deal with hooking it into
procmail, but it's easy to use it directly in KMail, and means you can
use it for a POP-based account (and thus for users who can't set
policy on their mail server).
The filter setup is the work of five minutes (if that!) if you have a
working spamassassin set up.
The filter in question is "<any header><matches regexp> ."
The action is "<pipe through> spamassassin -P"
Then, in the advanced options, uncheck the "If this filter matches,
stop processing here" box. If you keep this filter at the top, it will
analyze any incoming mail, decide whether it's spam or not, and flag
it accordingly.
I've got a second filter behind it, which searches for the added
spam-flags and diverts them into a specific spam folder (still
testing, don't want to delete any false positives by mistake); but
it's also easy to bounce them or divert them to the bit bucket.
Goodbye to all spam.
Have fun,
--
