>       I use kmail (KDE Mail) for all Email. Currently, Kmail is configured

to
> go and fetch my Email from four different places every ten minutes or so
> (while launched and sitting on my desktop).
>      I need to implement two changes: first, the spam is getting utterly
> ridiculous and I need something automatic to pre-classify incoming traffic
> into "might be spam" and "probably not spam" (and "definately spam"?)
> categories.
>      Secondly, I need to split my wife's email out into a separate "place"

so
> she can read it from her machine (and mail program) at a different time.
>
>      Here's what I think I need to do (please correct my thinking or, if
> there's a better way, please let me know):

>
> 1) Use fetchmail to retrieve Email from external servers and put the

messages
> somewhere "local" (on machine #1 which is up 100% of the time).
> 2) Use ????? to paw through that mail and do the anti-spam filtering.
> 3) Use kmail (on machine #1) to read my (now local) mail, and
> 4) Let my wife use a different mail reader (probably Mozilla's built-in)

to
> read her Email when logged on to her system (machine #2).
>
>      Looks like I'll have fetchmail set up in a cron entry, and I'll need

to
> have an SMTP agent on machine #1 to "serve" the Email out to me (kmail, on
> same system) or my wife (mozilla, different system).
>      Does that look right? (Suggestions for the spam filtering daemon

would be
> appreciated.)
>
>      TIA!
