Versions are: evolution 2.6.3-2 spamassassin 3.1.7-1 The following options are set: Edit->Plugins->Spam detection with spamassassin Edit->Preferences->Mail options->Spam->Detect if incoming mail is spam & Include remote tests I've checked that spamd is up and spamc installed: debian_etch$ ps -ef | grep spam root 3859 1 0 Nov29 ? 00:00:03 /usr/sbin/spamd --create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir jp 9872 3859 0 Nov30 ? 00:01:01 spamd child jp 9903 3859 0 Nov30 ? 00:00:25 spamd child jp 3449 4465 0 18:44 pts/3 00:00:00 grep spam debian_etch$ which spamc /usr/bin/spamc
I've selected hundreds of junk messages and manually flagged them as spam. I've also selected some ham messages and flagged as spam and afterwards as not spam. I also thought that the spam folder would get full of junk soon after flagging some junks messsages but nothing happened. Then I started setting/unsetting any option I could think off.
