Just for a quick test I enabled spamassassin by running "spamd -d" to start the daemon and then created a filter in Kmail that would execute "spamc" on all incoming mail. This is with the standard FC3 distribution. From the amount of time it took to download the mail from the server I could tell that it was processing the messages and there were logs of the scan in /var/log/maillog of the form: Mar 22 22:33:28 LinMaster spamd[5925]: connection from LinMaster [127.0.0.1] at port 32816 Mar 22 22:33:28 LinMaster spamd[5925]: info: setuid to mklinke succeeded Mar 22 22:33:28 LinMaster spamd[5925]: processing message <4240E136.7040100@xxxxxxxx> for mklinke:500. Mar 22 22:33:30 LinMaster spamd[5925]: clean message (0.0/5.0) for mklinke:500 in 2.6 seconds, 3630 bytes. Mar 22 22:33:30 LinMaster spamd[5925]: result: . 0 - scantime=2.6,size=3630,mid=<4240E136.7040100@xxxxxxxx>,autolearn=ham In my ~mklinke/.spamassassin directory I had the "local.cf" file mentioned in the docs ( /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-3.0.1 ) as well as in /etc/mail/spamassassin. I think you'll want to invoke spamd with the -L switch rather than "spamc -L" that you tried and then you'll have to post-filter spam marked messages with additional kmail filters to move to the directory of your choice.
