Description Thomas Zehetbauer 2005-05-22 01:23:18 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

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.
