One I use for correspondance and access it with Mozilla and the second I use for the debian mailing list and I retrieve the postings with fetchmail and view them with mutt. When the ms mail bomb spam reached 70 per day I used apt-get to install spamassassin on my box (testing, 2.4.20 kernel) and found old correspondance which I had been saving has been deleted - not moved to trash - while there has been no effect on my mailing list mailbox. I started through the README's as above but have not been able to resolve the problems. I plan to go to the spamassassin mailing list next but, seeing this message, I have added my experience.
