[gentoo-user] Training Spamassassin via KMail

[gentoo-user] Training Spamassassin via KMail

[Daniel D Jones]

I have Spamassasin running on my mail server rather than on my desktop box.  I 
therefore can't run the Anti-Spam Wizard on KMail, since it correctly fails to 
detect a spam filter as installed.  I have a mailbox configured on my server for 
spam.  Any mail sent to that mailbox is used to train Spamassasin.  Before 
upgrading to KDE 4, I had a button on my toolbar which activated a filter to 
forward missed spam back to the spam mailbox on my server.  This transferred 
over on the upgrade but there was some sort of warning message on the filter 
that it could not be edited or it would be lost.  I don't recall the exact 
message.

I recently had a runaway process fill up my hard disk and KMail crashed because 
the hard drive was full.  I fixed that issue but had to reconfigure KMail from 
scratch and lost my Spam button.  I've been unable to find any info on the 'Net 
on how to recreate it.

What I'd like is a button on my KMail toolbar that, when pressed, forwards the 
selected email to a specific email address and moves the email to the Spam 
folder.  Any help in configuring this would be greatly appreciated.

May I suggest a possible alternative:

You may be able to program a button to simply move the message into a  
folder more easily than you can program it to forward to a certain  
address.

You can do all that (and train spamassassin using spamc) using the Filters 
dialog.

Correction: you want "sa-learn --spam" for the training with the "pipe-
through" filter action.

You can train a spamassassin running on an server by running "sa-lern
--spam" on the client? Thats new to me, but thats maybe because I don't
use KMail and don't know the "pipe-through" filter action.

This is a client, spamassassin runs on my server.
So spamassassin isn't installed here, and with this no sa-lern.

I understand the english-german issue that might have occurred, however the 
name of the tool is sa-learn not sa-lern :)

D'oh! :-)
It's just to hot and to late here.
Thx

metatron@DarkStation ~ $ man sa-learn
Keine Handbuchseite für sa-learn

That doesn't change the fact that spamassassin isn't installed here.
Why should I install it on my client if it runs fine on my server?
