e: Evolution and dapper

[Gabriel Dragffy]

I have recently started using Evolution. I am on a pretty new install. I
have not manually installed spam assassin, although in Evolution plugins
menu I have the spam control using spam assassin working. Is this going
to be OK, or must I install some extra software for it to work?
If I search in Synaptic it doesn't have spam assassin installed but
maybe Evolution uses it's own "plugin" version???
