Welcome to CCRMA's Spam fighter homepage.

Having a 'Spam Free' inbox is a requires vigilence on everyone's part. In the text below, we'll describe what you can do to minimize your Spam.

First you need to determine which email client you will be using (e.g. Evolution, Thunderbird, WebMail, or Pine). Spam fighting is much more difficult if you use more than one email client. The descriptions below are for exclusive use of only one client. These solutions also assume that you will not be using client side 'intelligent email filtering' (where the your email client 'learns' about Junk mail).


Evolution


# error messages to a log for debugging
# LOGFILE=$HOME/mail/.procmail_log
# VERBOSE=yes
# LOGABSTRACT=all

# directory where mailboxes are located
# this is the default used by pine
MAILDIR=$HOME

# pipe the message through spamassassin in cm-home
