With those settings, I safely deleted (rpm -e --nodeps) spamd without my
computer blowing up.
BTW, there are two sets of settings; One in the account settings and another in "Mail Preferences."
Well, I don't want to face the wrath of YUM &/or APT complaining about unmet dependencies every time I do something package related.
But thanks for the tip on the second setting for JUNK-MAIL-FILTERING under "Mail Preferences" When I turned that off it appears that evolution doesn't start any "Spamd" processes when new mail comes in.
This is good, saves *39MB* of RAM !!!
And about 10 minutes a day of CPU.
I don't know how SPAMD could be *THAT* bad, I mean sheez 39MB of used RAM and 10 minutes to process a few hundred e-mails that probably total just a MB or two of total data... That is sad.
