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. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
