I used to use T'bird, till it became overwhelmed in spam. It's training couldn't keep up with the different varieties of spam, so I changed over to sylpheed-claws as it had a plugin for SpamaAssassin. Well, this I couldn't not get SA plugin working well, so I went back to first principles and used fetchmail, procmail and pointed Sylpheed to the Mail folder.
And it works really well too! Its caught spam sent to lists, inc slug, and last night it even filtered out a Amazon phish!. Outstanding! I doubt very much T'bird could catch as the phish SA found was a ISP address reported to be send spam. The take home message, is it just works. I wrote myself a howto, and its here: http://home.exetel.com.au/randombits/linux/linux.html HTH - Russell On Fri, 17 Mar 2006 16:44:39 +1100 john gibbons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Via email, Matthew.
