GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 305056
evolution should use "spamassassin -r" instead of "sa-learn" so spam can be reported
Last modified: 2013-07-08 11:22:22 UTC
Please describe the problem: evolution uses "sa-learn" when the user clicks the "Junk" button, unfortunately this only trains they bayesian engine, instead it should pipe the message to "spamassassin -r" so it also gets submitted to razor/pyzor/dcc. Steps to reproduce: see above Actual results: see above Expected results: see above Does this happen every time? yes Other information: I hate stupid forms
three matches of "sa-learn" in <#/evolution/plugins/sa-junk-plugin/em-junk-filter.c> in 2.4
This definitely is not a 2.5 Target Milestone. The ability for users to report SPAM may be a good thing -- maybe it isn't. The point is, there are clueless users out there, who definitely should not report anything by default. Having reporting SPAM as an option most likely is way better. (Judging from a lot of mailing list posts here.) Remember, reporting SPAM needs network access, while learning (training Bayes) can be done even in offline mode.
./modules/spamassassin/evolution-spamassassin.c: #define SA_LEARN_BINARY "/usr/bin/sa-learn" in 3.3.x

Closing as WONTFIX. No more SpamAssassin integration enhancements. Use Bogofilter instead.
