Mandrake 9.2 dual boot Windoze / Linux, Dell Inspiron laptop 4150.

New to Linux, but loving it so far!  Ex TRSDOS boy! but I still can't
type :-(

Would like to dump Windoze.

Running Sylpheed-Claws 0.9.8 and SpamAssassin with two isp accounts.

Using SMTP.  ADSL.

Spam assassin filters on the first (default) account ok (bigpond.com),
but doesn't filter on the second (rivernet.com.au).

(BTW ~some~ of the mail via rivernet is redirected to my laptop from the
office; this mail has already had one SpamAssassin pass at the office
MDaemon mail server and has some SpamAssassin headers already - can this
affect things at all?)  Not all mail from the second isp comes via the
office server.

Must admit I have not set up SpamAssassin at all except install the
plugin for Sylpheed, and written a filter to redirect the Spam to a Spam
folder.

I noticed a "GTK" plugin for SpamAssassin as well;  not sure what this
is. Should this be installed?

I have Googled on this subject, but I cannot find anything which really
I can understand. Very "computer challenged".

Are there any special settings I should use, etc?

Is there a whitelist / blacklist?

Perhaps there is a config file I should write to somewhere with special
settings?

Any web page that explains this sort of stuff in simple English?

All help greatly appreciated!  Words of one syllable even more
appreciated! <g>
