spam - ideas?

[Erik Bågfors]

If using evolution, start to mark mail as junk (and yes, it uses
spamassassin so you need that installed locally). Make sure you have
"check for spam" on in the settings. After markin spam as junk for a
while, spamassasin will learn. The more you use it, the better it
gets.

I've gotten mine to take about 99.5% or my spam and I only had like 3
false-possitives. I get hundreds of spam each day.

You can do the same with thunderbird but I don't know how it performs.
