I've got Sylpheed with bogofilter integrated. In the 'junk mail' settings there's this option: 'Filter junk mails before normal filtering'. When checked, bogofilter captures all spam mails from the list, that is, spam mails with the d-u address somewhere in the headers. If your d-u filter (putting the list mail into your d-u folder) gets the mail first, apparently these messages get out of reach of other filters. I suppose KMail has a similar setting after bogofilter is added. BTW: although bogofilter does not mark a message as spam if it is not sure about it, it does mark messages as spam if it *is* sure about it. I've inspected some 20,000 messages that were sent to the spam folder, and none of them was falsely marked as spam. It appears to be safe to send the messages that are marked as spam to the trash folder directly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
