Probably uses procmail for that. In procmail I use headers inserted by spambayes like this: ########### Feed it thru SPAMBAYES first ################ :0 fw:hamlock | /usr/bin/sb_filter.py -f -d $HOME/.hammiedb # then filter out spam and unsure stuff.... :0 * ^X-Spambayes-Classification: spam $HOME/Mail/newspam :0 * ^X-Spambayes-Classification: unsure $HOME/Mail/unsure which filters based on what the X-Spambayes-Classification: header says. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------- But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ------------------------------- Romans 5:8 (niv) ------------------------------ -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
