Right! I selected one of the junk messages, and the 'not junk' did
light... I emptied junk and trash, and restarted Evo to see what happens
when everything there is clean.

Since I don't see anywhere within account preferences or mail
preferences to set catch-all, I'm guessing I don't have this set (or
don't understand where to find it)...

I'll assume that you are using atlantic.net. AN have catch-all enabled
by default:

Catch-all Default Mailbox

This feature allows you to receive e-mails that are sent to an e-mail
address that does not currently exist at your domain.

Example: A customer sends you an e-mail to an address you have not
created such as info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, and instead of the message bouncing
back to the user because the e-mail address does not exist, the email
will be delivered to a vaild email addresss that you have configured to
be your Catch-all mailbox.

You need to call AN or whoever admins your mail and have them turn
catch-all off. That is why you are getting so many spams.


I had a rule that I found on one of the many pages I was reading that
pipes every email to the spamassassin command, and if the return is not
0, to mark it read and move it to a different folder that I had set up.
I'm guessing I no longer need this rule (it didn't ever move any
messages to that folder anyway).

On a more general note of catching spam, is it even necessary to have
rules written in Evo, if I :
a) Setup a folder within my mbox to move messages that I want marked as
spam, but have not been caught yet by SA
b) setup a cron job to run sa-learn --spam on that folder, say, once
every hour?

On the Evo w/SA that I set up for testing I have no rules or pipes, no
added folder - only Junk; only the default SA, Bogo unchecked, SA
checked, and remote checked. Nothing else and it's filtering just fine
so far.
