Solution :

  • ask for spamassasin to activate internet filters

  • add dcc , pyzor , razor internet filters to spamassassin

  1. Ask spamassassin to activate internet filters

in kmail , spam filter assistant installer creates 2 automatic filters and 2 manual filters.
in every filter remove if it exists the parameter “-L”

if you use Spamassassin daemon (spamc/spamd)

in /etc/sysconfig/spamd file
search the statement


SPAMD_ARGS="-d -c -L"

  • warning

if you choose in kmail assistant spam filter installer , spamassassin daemon
then
the assistant creates a filter to manage detected spam with a false condition “yes”

replace “yes” by “YES”

condition “yes” is for spamassassin version < 3.4.1

condition “YES” is for spamassassin version >= 3.4.1
