✨ NAME ✨

claws-mail-bsfilter-plugin — spam filtering using the bsfilter program 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this manual page is your little tour of the claws-mail-bsfilter-plugin package. Short and sweet, we love that for it.

Real talk though: this manpage was written for the Debian™ distribution, because the original program literally does not ship a manual page. so Ricardo said "fine, I'll do it myself" and here we are 👑

claws-mail-bsfilter-plugin is a plugin — aka a loadable module — for the Claws Mail mailer. icon behavior fr fr.

What does it do? It lets spam mails be feed to the bsfilter program, so bsfilter can learn to filter them out. it's giving "training arc" 🌈. teach the filter, and the filter eats the spam. periodt.

🎀 USAGE 🎀

Before you can use a plugin, you have to tell Claws Mail to actually, y'know, load it on startup. can't use what you didn't load, bestie 😭

Here's the whole little ritual, step by step:

  1. Go to the “Configuration” menu — it lives on the main window toolbar.
  2. Open the “Plugins...” dialog.
  3. Click the “Load plugin...” button.
  4. Select the plugin file, which is named bsfilter.so.
  5. Press the “Open” button.

boom. slay. you're loaded up 💖
