TH Hello Jack,
K9 simply adds the word SPAM (or whatever you tell it to add) to
the subject line *before* the message gets to TB!. It doesn't do
anything else (except learn from experience). Once the message
reaches your (my) inbox I have a filter set up which routes any
incoming message with the word Spam anywhere in the subject line
into a folder called amusingly enough, Spam. I then confirm that
they are indeed spam and manually delete them from the Spam folder.
Also each time you fetch your email you have to open K9 and tell it
which of the incoming messages are spam. From then on it will flag
(with the word Spam in the subject) any messages which match or
closely match the criteria it uses to identify spam.
I seem to recall that K9 is much more sophisticated that I'm making
it out to be. It's been so long since I started using K9 that I've
forgotten just about everything I ever knew about it. That's why
it's important to read the information contained at the
http://keir.net/k9.html site and the discussions found in TB!'s archives.
TH I understand what you are saying except for one thing: K9 defines Spam
TH within the K9 program but does not tag emails with the word Spam upon
TH TB retrieving them so I do not understand what you are referring to by
TH the word spam in the subject heading. Can you further explain what
TH you mean by K9 inserting or tagging the subject headings with the word
TH spam so I can set TB to send these emails to a spam filter.
Well, first of all, after you installed K9 it should then
automatically appear as a capitol letter K lying on it's face
somewhere in the system tray every time you start your computer. If
the face-down capitol letter K isn't in your system tray, then K9
isn't running. Now, assuming that icon is present, double-click on
it and open K9. Once K9 is open, click on the CONFIGURATION tab.
You should see the upper-right section of that tab dedicated to:
Mark emails as Spam by... where you get to tell K9 how you want
spam messages marked. IIRC the default was simply SPAM. I
changed mine to show -SPAM- for some reason so that now whenever
K9 see an email it knows to be spam, it places -SPAM- in the
subject line of the email before it reaches TB!.
Once the email reaches TB!, my filter detects the -SPAM- in the
subject line and re-routes the email to my Spam folder.
HTH,
TH Yes indeed, I see how this works and I like it!!! Thanks for your
TH help Jack.
I'm glad I was finally able to help somebody on this list instead
of the list helping me, as is usually the case.
I'm experiencing the same timed out delay of 15 seconds before TB
sends email with K9 installed. Do you experience the same delay? I was
wondering if there is a setting within TB that is delaying the sending
of email or if this is just K9?
