I'm not well-schooled in this subject, but I've been trying to get a
decent mail filter working for a while myself, and haven't been too
successful.  I do notice, however, that both bogo and spamassassin are
enabled by default in Evo (I'm running 2.8.1 in Edgy).  I'll give the
link page a read and run through this procedure and let you know what I
come out of it with...
