Yes I do but it is used somehow internally by evolution. spamd does not
have to be running.

I have a this is not junk button but that does not do anything that I
can see. Traditionally spamassassin was controlled by commands in the
~/.spamassassin/user_prefs file. The databases get updated so that seems
to be doing something but nothing else in the user_prefs file seems to
work.

The real question is how does evolution use spamassassin?
