Not true. I do not have procmail setup. I'm filtering KMail directly with a "pipe through spamc". I haven't used bogofilter so I'm really neutral as to which is better. My hunch is that both are excellent. I began with SA because of the available rules and have stuck with it because it works. | | In any event, I don't think it's hard to set up SA.

There are several places to go for SA setup, if you decide that is the filter you want to use, and hopefully, you can find something about running SA with Tbird.
