[Evolution] FRQ: spam-complaint

Howdy-
Does anyone have an relatively effective set of filter rules to reduce
spam with Evolution?
The fad with the kids is to use SpamAssassin, it's supposed to be very
effective. You can't really hook it up into Evolution unless you're
using 1.1 and feeling a bit adventurous, but if that's not a problem,
I'd recommend it (though not having used it myself.)
I use it, I love it. Not that difficult to install really: Follow the
instructions and, assuming you are using procmail for mailbox delivery,
use the following procmail recipe:
# SpamAssassin
:0fw
| spamc
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
${HOME}/evolution/local/SPAM/mbox/
I've created a SPAM mailbox in Evolution, changed it to maildir type.
That should do the trick.
cheers,
Dirk

Re: [Evolution] Spam Filter
I've built a pretty thorough set of spam filters using the evolution filters. On average, 2 pieces of spam get thru a day. My spam folder gets about 400 pieces a day. My filters are organized such that my list subscriptions are sorted into the appropriate mailboxes, followed by mail from select friends and family which goes into a mailbox, followed by mail from select domains that I want mail from. Then my porn and spam filters take over and if it meets their criteria, it goes into a spam folder. Very little that shouldn't make it thru does. Once in a while a genuine email goes in there (about once a day) so I peruse it periodically.

Re: [Evolution] FRQ: spam-complaint
There is a plugin in outlook that allows you to report spam directly to www.spamcop.net. Those guys are doing an excellent job at contacting service providers and eMail owners, for free. In outlook, when you receive a spam, click on 'Submit to SpamCop' and that's it. The email is sent to your spamcop account, and is reported accordingly to the interested parties. Easy, simple, efficient. In a general sense, a plugin mechanism would allow this without change evolution's own code. Pretty much like in Mozilla, we don't need that much complexity here. E.

[Evolution] gnupg
Hello, I have a little Problem with Evolution and gnupg signed messages.. Or, better to say, some lost souls using Microsoft Outlook have problems with my signed mails. Evolutions sends signed mails as multipart mails, while Evolution can handle this and shows the lock symbol and no other attachments Outlook shows the signature as one attachment. Some of my friends now complain now about this and ask me to send unsigned messages, which I do not want.. So, could I configure Evolution to send the signed message as full inline text?? Or is there a RFC concerning mail that demands this multipart behaviour? I looked around but did not find an option to change from multipart to inline.. I use Evolution 1.0.2 with SuSE 8.0 and gnupg 1.0.6. This leads to a second question: I have seen that there is a rpm file with version 1.0.8 of evolution on the ximinan ftp server compiled for the SuSE 8.0, but how do I update the package? Just download the file and do rpm -Uhv? Or do I need to uninstall the Evolution-1.0.2-SuSE before installing Evolution-1.0.8-Ximian??
