[Ilugc] spammassassin + evolution does not work

2010-08-09 Thread Kenneth Gonsalves
hi,

I am using evolution with spamassassin. I have doe a lot training -
several hundred mails, but spamassassin is yet to catch even a single
mail as spam. I cannot figure out if it is working or not. Any one has
some tips here?

able to detect spam mails.

MTA - Mail Transfer Agent --- You need to Configure.

If you look at the headers(*), you'll see a X-spam-score. Check the average 
scores for what you consider as spam and mention that in your spamassassin 
config (ref: config option - required_score)


Also, you might want to modify the default behavior of spamassassin of just 
setting this header to also modifying the subject line to reflect the spam status


(ref: config option - rewrite_header, for example:

rewrite_header Subject [SPAM]

)

A quick google also showed me this, which might be useful:

(*) I am sorry don't know how to do that in evolution, but in thunderbird it is 
'view-headers-all' or through 'view-message source', I'd imagine there'd be 
something similar in evo.

solved - in preferences the preferred plugin for spam was not selected -
trust our good friends in fedora to leave something out. I selected
spamassassin as default plugin and restarted evolution for good measure
and it has started working.
