    If you want it to be dropped in the caughtspam dir, just check the
    recipy in .procmailrc for correct syntax. Spaces, etc or the line:
    * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes

    Look at the raw format of a mail that has been marked as spam. It
    should contain a line:
    X-Spam-Status: Yes

    Make sure this line is exactly as it is in .procmailrc
    (preceded by '* ^')

    If you want to use Evolution to do the filtering, you can remove the
    second recipy in .procmailrc.

    I'm not sure where to set this, maybe have a look at the man pages of
    spamassassin and spamd.

    I 'teach' spamassassin about spam that it missed. I use sa-learn. It
    seems to work good.
    See the man page for sa-learn.
    Very easy to use: Just drop the missed spam in a mbox and run sa-learn
    on it.
    E.g.:
    sa-learn --spam --mbox /home/andre/spam_mail/missedspam
