Known bug, currently the spam filtering implementation does not work, as
spamassassin does not start to work until it has learned 200 non-spam
messages, and Evo has no way to teach SA what a non-spam message ("ham")
looks like.

You can work around it by using sa-learn on the command line.  See the
spamassassin docs for more info.

Thanks, I'll have to figure out the work around you are talking about. I opened terminal earlier and tried the commands, but was unsure how to pinpoint specific emails and even got the "ham" command messed up. I'll keep working on it.

Ooh, wait... This is not correct.

SpamAssassin needs to be trained at least 200 Spam and Ham (non-Junk)
messages *each*, before the *Baesian* Classifier works. Any other SA
built-in rules and remote tests *do* work out of the box without any
training at all.


Anyway, you are correct that there is a "known bug". Up to Evo 2.4.x
there is no (good) way to train the SA Bayes filter at all, unless SA
classifies a mail incorrectly.


A hack-ish workaround to train Bayes using Evo is the following: Pick at
least 200 non-Junk messages, and keep them in mind. Now mark them as
Junk using the Evo UI. Go to your Junk folder, and mark all those
non-Junk mail we just abused in a sacrificial manner and correctly mark
them as non-Junk. SA will realize it learned these messages previously,
and learn them as Ham (non-Junk) only, AFAIK. Now we got the 200 Hams
learned. Collecting at least 200 Spams for learning shouldn't be hard I
guess. ;-)

Note: This really is a *hack* only, and you should not try this unless
you feel a little bit adventurous. :)


> You can work around it by using sa-learn on the command line.  See the
> spamassassin docs for more info.

Yes. :)  Please note though, that this is a safe approach only, if you
are *really* confident that there is *no* Junk in those folders you are
training as Ham. (Having all Junk removed ensures this. :)

For a safe way of training manually using 'sa-learn' I recommend saving
at least 200 Hams and Spams each into dedicated Ham and Spam files. The
safed files are in mbox format and can be learned easily using
'sa-learn' as Lee pointed out.

The Junk folder is a vFolder only, which effectively means it is a
Search over all existing real folders, displaying those mails that are
marked as Junk. The Junk mail still remains in it's physical mail folder
(the mbox format file).

Do I have to mark the mail as Junk first and then un-Junk them - or can
I just mark them in the Inbox as Not-Junk? In other words, what does the
initial marking as Junk do?

When you mark an email as Spam, it enables Spamassassin to analyse the 
email's various characteristics and add it to its paramjeters that 
identify spam - the more times you train it with different emails the 
more confident Spamassassin can be in identifying Spam itself - pretty 
much how we learn to decide whether we like or don't like people we 
meet, based on past experience.
When you mark an email as not spam, when Spamassassin has decided it is 
spam, you are forcing it to rethink some rules where it had perhaps 
guessed wrong. For instance, somebody sends you a learned treatise on 
the medical effects of Viagra, Spamassassin may werll treat it as spam, 
but if you tell it its's not spam, it will go away and think "not all 
references to Viagra mean spam, let's think more deeply about this, 
maybe I need to modify my rules".

I'm not 100% sure. But remember, filters err on the side of caution - if 
it's not sure it won't flag it as junk. Hence telling it something isn't 
junk when it already has decided it isn't is unlikely to teach it much, 
if anything you're just confirming what it already believes.
On the other hand, telling it something is junk when it has not yet 
decided it is, or telling it someting isn't when it thinks it is, 
presents it with A1 opportunities to learn from - learning from mistakes.
From my own experience of training evolution, I needed to flag +- 100 
examples as junk, and only 1 or 2 corrections (flagging junk as not 
junk). But this last action will depend on the nature of your 
"legitimate" email - if you get a lot of key spamlike words in your 
regular email you may indeed have to correct quite a few bad spam decisions.

Ok, thanks

Last tricky one.  What if I have 20 known (repeating) spam messages, can
I Junk them over and over again to up the count on those specific
contents?
In other words, if I have messages I get over and over again, can I
"fool" SA by marking the messages as Junk over and over again to get to
200 messages quicker?
I just cant wait to get 200x Viagra discounts :)

I don't think this will work. AFAIK the "not junk" button presents
messages to sa-learn as "cancel this message having been learnt as junk"
and not "learn this message as ham", which is really something else.

This was discussed very recently.

The "Non-junk" button does not do what most people (including me) would
expect. The thing it does is cancels out a previously messages marked as
"spam". So if you first mark a message as "junk" and then apply "not
junk" to it, the netto result is zero. On the other hand, applying "not
junk" on a message that was not previously marked as "junk" does
absolutly *nothing* (which is very bad imho).

No, spamassassin remembers from which messages it learnt. It will not
learn from message over and over, only once. If you learn spamassassin
using sa-learn it will tell you what messages are used for training.
Maybe an idea for evolution to show this information in some way?

Hello,

    I have been facing a problem with Spam Assassin and Evolution integration.

    My Evolution runs 24/7 on my computer and from time to time I have to restart it due to high memory consumption.  I have noticed that the evolution task usually takes about 950 MiB after some time running (2 or 3 days), evolution-data-server takes about 550 MiB and that I have dozens of spamd child processes running. I use evo 2.4.1 on Ubuntu Breezy with the last updates and SpamAssassin version 3.0.4  running on Perl version 5.8.7.

    What could be done to minimize it?

Known bug, currently the spam filtering implementation does not work, as
spamassassin does not start to work until it has learned 200 non-spam
messages, and Evo has no way to teach SA what a non-spam message ("ham")
looks like.

You can work around it by using sa-learn on the command line.  See the
spamassassin docs for more info.

Gregg 



    **  Greg, had the same issues here, but as they said above, once you start getting sa trained, it works great.  I made a local folder in one of my accounts called it _SPAM_.  I then rather than hitting the Junk icon, manually moved them over into that folder and ever few day's jumped to a terminal, and just did the following;
sa-learn --spam /home/lance/.evolution/ sa-learn --spam .evolution/mail/imap/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/folders/INBOX/subfolders/_SPAM_/

hit enter and wait (be patient), and after a few minutes or so, you get a reply with a spam score etc.  Little by little you will start to check your evo Junk folder and more & more msgs will go there.

As for the other post about the local.cf file, not sure, I looked at mine, it's just 4 lines of comments so NE word on how to change the score is appreciated as well.

I'm running Evolution 2.6.3 (recently upgraded). I originally thought my
Evo (earlier version) wasn't filtering spam -- but it's just that it
took several 100 msgs to be marked as spam before spamassassin kicked
in.

To see what's happening, you need to look in /var/log/mail.info (etc) --
any obvious error messages? any 'spamd' (or 'spamc') messages???

Uff, isn't there any hack or some clever option to enable/disable to get
this running on my Fedora Core 6 desktop with Evolution 2.8.3 ?

Wait a minute you have 2.6.3? or is it a typo?

I tried just for test running:
# yum update evolution --enablerepo=development

and got 20 screens of dependencies and needed upgrades :) that would
kill my machine I could bet it would.

I don't have spamassassin installed - I'm simply using Evolution
(version 2.10.1 - Ubuntu Fiesty) as a pop client.

Are you saying that I'd have to set up spamassassin on my laptop to
filter the spam before it gets to evo? That certainly is a possible
solution, but it would be a drag.

If you're talking about the Evolution spamassassin plugin then, as it
says, it needs spamassassin to be installed.

You don't need to set it up, but you need to install it, since evo uses
spamassassin to filter spam.  2.12 will also have the option to use
bogofilter instead of spamassassin.

if 10.1 does not have the bogofilter plugin built in, and you'd rather
not build the plugin yourself, you can create filters to use
bogofilter..

Bogofilter, in my experience.  It's not even close.  After training, my
spamassassin never got better than 90% catch rate, which is still some
hundred spams a day for me.  Bogofilter is 99.9% at least, probably
better.  False positive rate is better too.

I have been there. For some reason there is a user interface for
marking spam, holding spam, and enabling and disabling spam checks,
that shows up regardless of whether Evolution has a spam filter plugin
enabled.

I think Evolution should be smart enough to disable the UI for spam
related functions when no spam functionality is enabled. Even a popup
called by all spam UI elements, that tells the user to enabling a spam
plugin, would be an improvement over the current scenario.

Good luck.

Others have already weighed in on this, but to speak specifically
about Ubuntu:

Evo on Ubuntu is built with both the spamassassin and bogofilter
plugins.  However, as others have said, both plugins simply interact
with the already-installed tools on your system; they don't contain
those tools themselves.

I agree with the majority: bogofilter is far and away the better
choice.  So, go to your package manager and install bogofilter, then
go to the evo plugins and select the bogofilter plugin and deselect
the spamassassin plugin.  Then restart evo, and start training
bogofilter.  Remember that you need to check your junk folder and mark
incorrectly tagged messages as "not spam" as well: that's an important
part of the training.  It won't take too long (depending on how much
mail you get) before things start working as you expect.

As with others here, bogofilter is now all but perfect for me when
detecting spam.  I couldn't live without it.

That's interesting... I'm wondering, is there a way to migrate your
SpamAssassin tokens database (the stuff stored in .spamassassin/*) to
bogofilter?  And, does anyone know what accounts, specifically, for its
better accuracy over SA?

  I was ready to switch to Bogofilter unitl I upgraded to 3.2.  I would 
  have to mark so many emails as spam in previous versions, but now I 
  get damn near zero spam in my inbox.  If anything it is a little 2

  of the spam.

I've been using Spamassassin for over a year with a fair amount of
success (I'd get maybe 3 or 4 false negatives a day, and essentially
zero false positives) but Evo would also tend to leave multiple spamd
demons lying around, so I after seeing several positive reports of
Bogofilter I decided to try it.

I'm on Fedora 7, Evo 2.10.3, and installed evolution-bogofilter via yum.
I disabled the SA plugin, restarted Evo, enabled the BF plugin,
restarted Evo again just in case, and trained BF on my Inbox (as ham)
and a batch of collected spam. I did this by selecting all messages and
hitting the "Junk" button (for spam) and by saving my entire Inbox in a
file and running "bogofilter -n < file" (for ham).

Trouble is, my spam is not being filtered except when I do it by hand.
In case anyone asks, "Check new messages for Junk" is enabled.

Should I expect to see 'bogofilter' running as a demon (the way spamd
does)? If so, it's not. Otherwise, I'd appreciate some advice. Maybe
there's something wrong with how I trained BF?

I don't believe OpenSUSE ever had the bogofilter patch.  Bogofilter
didn't go into mainline until 2.11, so you'll have to wait for 2.12, or
find a patched evo for OpenSUSE.

Or, I believe, you can create filters for incoming mail to have 
bogofilter do spam checks
a quick google search should provide examples...

something along the lines of ...( validate that these do what you 
expect,, i'm quick scripting... )
create filter for incoming mail, pipe to program, where program is 
something like...
cat $HOME/bin/bogofiltercheck.sh

#!/bin/bash

#bogofilter -p -e  < /dev/stdin
bogofilter -p -e -u < /dev/stdin

create filters for status changes to 'not junk', 'junk' to pipe to 
program(s)...

cat $HOME/bin/bogofilterchecknotjunk.sh

#!/bin/bash
bogofilter  -n < /dev/stdin


cat $HOME/bin/bogofiltercheckjunk.sh

Sure, you can always do that.  I even have procmail filtering.  However,
that's not the same as having the bogofilter plugin, because it doesn't
integrate with the Junk/Not Junk buttons.  Specifically, to train using
filters, you need to train manually outside of evo.  (I did this with
bogofilter for a while before giving up and writing a plugin...)

I believe you can integrate with said buttons...
if you setup filters for
   'Junk Test'-> message is not junk
pipe to program bogofilterchecknotjunk.sh

   'Junk Test'-> message is junk
pipe to program bogofiltercheckjunk.sh

and then... 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~/bin$ bogoutil -w /home/rthompso/.bogofilter/wordlist.db 
.MSG_COUNT
 spam   good
.MSG_COUNT274383

Then select a message and use 'Junk' button to mark it as junk and then
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~/bin$ bogoutil -w /home/rthompso/.bogofilter/wordlist.db 
.MSG_COUNT
 spam   good
.MSG_COUNT275383

then select the message and use 'Not Junk' button to mark it as not junk then
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~/bin$ bogoutil -w /home/rthompso/.bogofilter/wordlist.db

.MSG_COUNT275384


After reading a bit, I'd suggest testing the following scenarios...

If checkbogofilter.sh does not have the -u option,
then bogofilterchecknotjunk.sh should contain

#!/bin/bash

bogofilter  -n < /dev/stdin

and bogofiltercheckjunk.sh should contain

#!/bin/bash

bogofilter  -s < /dev/stdin

If checkbogofilter.sh does contain the -u option,
then bogofilterchecknotjunk.sh should contain
#!/bin/bash

bogofilter  -Sn < /dev/stdin

It turns out I was wrong. Spam filtering is happening, it just took a

Bogofilter on a bunch of messages would make it effective immediately
but it didn't.

Sorry for the noise.

Depends on your definition of "a bunch".  :)  I originally trained my
bogofilter with ~2000 spam messages and ~20,000 ham messages.  It was
extremely effective immediately.  If "a bunch" is more like 100, then it
seems unlikely to be great immediately.

I know you fixed your problem, but just to confirm: there is no
bogofilter daemon that runs all the time like spamd does.  BF is a
completely command-line driven tool that keeps your bogosity info in
its own database.  You start it up, feed it an email (with proper
flags) and it will either (a) add the email to the "spammy" data, (b)
add the email to the "hammy" data, or (c) tell you how spammy the
email is.  Then it's done.
