Kmail problems with filters and Spam 7178

From my Kmail filter rules:-

Filter named 'Bogofilter Check': under 'Filter Criteria' is 'match all of 'Filter Actions' is 'Pipe Through bogofilter -p -e -u'; under 'advanced options' both incoming messages and manual filtering are selected. As far as I can remember, this was all set up by the automated tool.

Filter named 'Spam Handling': under 'Filter Criteria' is 'Match any of the 'File into Folder wastebin', 'Mark As Spam', 'Mark As Read'; under 'Advanced Options', incoming messages, manual filtering, and stop processing here, are all selected. I think all that too was generated automatically, but I altered the 'Actions' to suit myself.

Both of those filters work as intended, automatically as e-mail arrives.

Filter named 'Clbuttify as spam': under 'Filter Criteria' is 'Match all of Actions' is 'Mark As Spam' 'Execute Command bogofilter -N -s' 'file into folder wastebin' 'Mark As Read'; under 'Advanced Options' stop processing here and add this filter to the 'Apply Filters' menu, are selected. I think this was created automatically and then altered by me.

Filter named 'Clbuttify as NOT spam': under 'Filter Criteria' is 'Match all 'filter Actions' is 'Mark As Ham'; 'Execute Command bogofilter -S -n' 'file into folder inbox' 'Mark As Read'; under 'Advanced Options' stop processing here and add this filter to the 'Apply Filters' menu, are selected. I think this too was created automatically and then altered by me.

These manual filters also work as intended.

POP filters (which operate directly on the mail server) are tricky; a search through Google's archives of the Linux groups will probably get you to some threads discussing the little tricks needed to get them working. It's so long since I used one that I forget :)) (I think the Mandrake group discussed POP filters in Kmail some time last year).

(KMail 1.7.2 using KDE 3.3.2, Bogofilter 0.94.4-1mdk, Mandriva 2005).
