Evolution bogofilter plugin

Well, I’ve finally upgraded to evolution 2.3.x, and this necessitates a change in my bogofilter spam filter. In evo 2.2, the spam assassin filter was built in, and so needed to be patched out. In 2.3, it’s a full-blown plugin, so all I need to do is add my own bogofilter plugin, which I’ve done. Here it is.

Unfortunatlely, only one junk filter plugin can be loaded at a time, and merely unchecking the spam assassin one in evo isn’t enough, so evo has to be built without the sa-junk-plugin, but with the bf-junk-plugin. With this done, it all works fine, and I’m back to my bogofilter goodness. Hopefully, I’ll eventually figure out how to get it all to work without patching/modifying the evo install, and then I can just package up the plugin alone.

  1. Hi,

    I did the same thing from scratch, unaware of your work. You can take a look (it’s pretty basic though):

    I’ve since filed a bug on the initialization conflict with sa-junk-plugin:
