i forget an important info

with kmail anti-spam installation assistant you have the choice to use

  • spamassassin (perl executable)
  • spamc/spamd (spamassassin daemon)

by default

  • spamassassin in kmail spamassassin filters installation
    or
  • spamd yast installation

does not execute any network check thus does not execute in particular dcc , pyzor , razor.

why executing network checks ?

If you don’t then you must wait for spamassassin learning 3000 spams and 3000 hams before to be efficient ! one or 2 years or more for a personal use !

How to activate network checks ?

if you use spamassassin in kmail filter
then
in kmail filter “spam detection”
search the statement

spamassassin -L

then delete “-L”

if you use spamd via spamc in kmail filter
then
in /etc/sysconfig/spamd file
search the statement

SPAMD_ARGS="-d -c -L"

then delete “-L”
then
restart spamd with yast service management tool
