=Introduction = Spam filtering may be achieved by using spamassassin or bogofilter. The method for setting this up differs slightly on different versions of Ubuntu.
All versions of Ubuntu
Follow the 5.10 part below to install spamassassin from Synaptic. Installing bogofilter is almost the same, except that you have to replace "spamassassin" by "bogofilter", of course.
Ubuntu 6.06 and later
There are 2 spam filter plugins for Evolution: the bogofilter plugin and the spamassassin plugin. Spam filtering doesn't work if more than one spam filter is enabled, so go to Edit -> Plugins (within Evolution) and make sure only one of them is enabled, then restart Evolution.
For bogofilter, spam filtering will start after at least one message has been marked as spam and at least one has been marked as not spam ("ham"). You might have to mark a good message as spam to be able to mark it as non-spam again. If you have multiple accounts repeat this for every account.
Ubuntu 5.10 and earlier
On the top panel, visit System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager.
Search for "spamassassin".
Install "spamassassin" and any dependencies it requires.
- Or write in terminal
apt-get install spamassassin
- Launch Evolution.
Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Mail Preferences -> Junk.
Enable at least the first option box, "Check incoming mail for junk."
Spamassassin itself requires no setup in most cases. If you really wanted to know all that, open the Gnome Help browser (System -> Help), type Ctrl-l (for "Location), and in the box type "man:spamassassin". Alternatively, you could open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and type "man spamassassin". There is additional documentation in "/usr/share/doc/spamassassin". (Places -> Home Folder, type Ctrl-l (Location), then enter "/usr/share/doc/spamassassin".)
