SpamAssassin is now running on ... (Oct 05 2003 23:05 GMT) - SpamAssassin is now running on my Linux machine in concert with the Ximian Evolution email client. For the first test, I had Evolution apply a filter that changed suspected spam to yellow in the list view (similar to Mail.app on OS X). Evolution pipes each email to SpamAssassin via a shell comand and then marks everything that doesn't return zero as spam. First results are promising -- after 24 hours there were no false positives, 109 messages correctly identified as spam and 37 misses - spam that was identified as legit. |
