Purge or move aside the "~/.spamassassin" directory, and edit
"/etc/default/spamassassin" to make sure that "ENABLED=0" is there (the
package default is 0).  In other words, don't run a system wide SA.

Use the default spam checking from Evolution, which will start up a
private instance of spamassassin running as your own login id, and then
access it via 'spamc'.

Don't try to pretrain the SA, but when messages are not matched as spam,
click the Junk button.
