GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 563085
Most often the spamassasin check fails dismaly with error message
Last modified: 2008-12-03 13:40:29 UTC
Please describe the problem: SpamAssasin does not mark messages as spam, even though they are. The process of spam checking is slow and gives back errors. Steps to reproduce: 1. Get fedora 10, upgrade to maximum 2. Exact versions of packages: evolution-data-server-2.24.1-2.fc10.i386 evolution-rspam-0.0.6-4.fc10.i386 evolution-2.24.1-2.fc10.i386 evolution-webcal-2.23.91-1.fc10.i386 evolution-perl-2.24.1-2.fc10.i386 evolution-help-2.24.1-2.fc10.i386 evolution-spamassassin-2.24.1-2.fc10.i386 spamassassin-3.2.5-2.fc10.i386 evolution-spamassassin-2.24.1-2.fc10.i386 Configure Evolution to use spamassasin plugin: Edit -> Plugins -> SpamAssasin junk plugn enabled Edit -> Preferences -> Mail Preferences -> Junk Selected are: Check incoming messages for junk Check custom header for junk Default junk plugin: SpamAssasin SpamAssasin plugin is availabkle and the binary is installed Then try to get your mail. THe status bar will start spitting notices "Check Junk Failed", when you click on the notice you get a dialog: Check Junk Failed, Pipe to SpamAssasin Failed, error code: 1 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Nothing is marked as spam. Still downlolading mail is very slow. Expected results: Messages should be marked as spam and moved to the spam folder. Especially after the training was done with more than 1000 messages. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: This bug is obviously not unique to Fedora. A quick search gave the same complaints elsewhere: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/281807 http://www.nabble.com/-Bug-45318--spamassassin,-NEW:-frequent-report-%27check-junk-failed%27-pipe-to-spamassassin-failed-error-code-1-tt20167165.html I will attach a screen shot and the log of standard error of Evolution

Did you teach SpamAssassin spam and ham already?
What I have been doing is marking every day about 100 messages as spam (since the date of installing F10 which is the date after official release). I did that by selecting the messages in Evolution and then hitting the button for Spam. Evolution dutifully marked them as spam and moved them to the Spam foldr. How can I check if I have actually trained SpamAssasin anything?
