How long does Thunderbird for Linux take to learn about junk

Michael Heiming I get most of my e-mail through my ISP, and they run Spambuttbuttin with some rules they have devised. They also have a virus detector that would protect me if I were to run Windows. The ISP maintains an e-mail account for me as part of their service. I read this account with Thunderbird, and that is where the filtering I buttume is in TB needs training.

I also run sendmail on my machine, and use dnsbl spam filtering with spamcop and mail-abuse.com and a long list of bad guys and bad IP address blocks. This part works pretty well.

My ISP cannot run those dnsbl type filters since some of their clients (the bigger ones) want all e-mail sent to them for them to filter themselves. Hence the need for MUA filtering. I have not looked into getting fetchmail to get the stuff locally and finding out how to make Thunderbird pick it up, but it is probably possible. I need something better than mutt to look at a lot of the stuff I get on my better-known e-mail account.
