The one thing he does NOT want to do is what seems to be most common
with Fedora Core - use it for filtering each email as you fetch it
using evolution. You find yourself with long delays in an interactive
situation. Turn off any SpamAssassin access in evolution and tell it
to fetch from a pop3 or imap port on your local machine. Use the
fetchmail, procmail, dovecot sort of solution.

I don't know.

Can you?

Are you able to install SpamAssassin on whatever machine you use, and somehow feed SpamAssassin the messages?

If so, sure.

Your question is extremely vague and you provide absolutely no information on your system. Windows? Dos? Linux? Macintosh?

And, again, SpamAssassin won't FILTER (ie Move messages above a score of 5 to a SPAM folder). It will only SCORE. What you do with it beyond that is up to you

*Sigh*.

Nabble is becoming the Google Groups of.. Groups..

but I cannot find anything to tell me whether I can use SpamAssassin in my
situation. I download my messages from my ISP. I don't have my own server
or anything like such.  Can I use SpamAssassin to filter/score my incoming
e-mail or does it need to be installed on my ISP's server to work?

Thanks for any help.
