I am using KMail 1.8.2 on Mandriva 2006. I enabled Spam Assassin a couple of months ago to filter out spam under KMail, using the 'idiot' button (aka Wizard) provided within KMail. The spam filtering definitely _does_ work but it doesn't seem particularly effective. At a minimum, it seems much less trainable than my cat (that's not a lot). I seem to be training the spam filter repetitively against the same or very similar types of mail. In frustration, I finally decided to set up a quick filter in KMail to get rid of the e-mail "What is OEM Software" that I keep getting, and remembered that I shouldn't have to hand write a filter to get rid of such a trivially easy-to-spot spam. What am I doing wrong? Did I forget to flip a switch somewhere? Hugh
