[KLUG Members] spamassisin

[Dirk Bartley]

I'm using evolution mostley and kmail some.  I was also looking to see
if there was a way to get sieve to call the spamc client.   I have never
looked at getting either client to do the spam filtering.

When I ./configure spamass-milter-0.3.0 I get

checking for mi_stop in -lmilter... no
configure: error: Cannot find libmilter

Or do I evan need spamass-milter??  Can I just point sendmail to spamd
like with the following line in README.libmilter??

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`filter3', `S=inet:3333 at localhost')

If I need spamass-milter then I wish it was an rpm in suse!  Oh well.
