AFAIK when using Spamassassin Evo calls "spamc" to report spam/ham to a background "spamd" daemon. There are no spamc options to tell SA to only use Bayesian filtering. OTOH I regularly used to have problems with multiple "spamd" daemons being started, especially when Evo would crash or hang. These got on my nerves so I switched to Bogofilter, which is indeed faster, and also doesn't use a client-server structure like SA. This worked fine until I recompiled my own copy of Evo 2.12. The Junk/Not Junk buttons work as before, but Evo *never* calls Bogofilter on its own, so effectively I now have no spam filtering at all (I also made sure the BF plugin is installed in the right place, just in case). I mentioned this on the list a while back but no-one followed up. Maybe it will all sort itself out when I can use Fedora 8 and official packages. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
