💖 CLAWS-MAIL-SPAMASSASSIN 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for claws-mail-spamassassin — the Debian™ edition, section 7 (iykyk) 💅

✨ NAME ✨

claws-mail-spamassassin — filter messages through SpamAssassin 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This page gives you the quick lil rundown of the claws-mail-spamassassin package, fr fr.

Not me having to write this myself, but — this manual page was written for the Debian™ distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so this is literally the exclusive 💅

claws-mail-spamassassin is a plugin (aka a loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer. 👑

What does it do? It lets you filter incoming mails using SpamAssassin to detect spam messages. iconic behaviour, no cap. 🚫📧

It also gives you the ability to teach spamd to recognize spam and ham, using the external command sa-learn in local modes, or spamd in TCP mode. ⚠️ heads up bestie — the TCP mode one requires SpamAssassin >= 3.1.x.

Wanna mark stuff as spam or ham with one tap? You can add a toolbar button for exactly that to the main window or the message window — find it via the “Configuration” menu, the “Preferences” dialog, and the “Customize toolbars” option. squeaky clean UI moment ✨

And the fate of anything classified as spam? It gets moved to the configured folder — or to the default trash if no folder was configured. bye girl 💀🗑️

🎀 USAGE 🎀

Before you can use a plugin, you must tell Claws Mail to load it on startup. like, it will not just show up by itself, bestie.

Here's the whole ritual:

  1. Go to the “Configuration” menu on the main window toolbar 🛠️
  2. Open the “Plugins...” dialog
  3. Click the “Load plugin...” button
  4. Select the plugin file, named spamassassin.so
  5. Press the “Open” button — and we're SO back 🫶
