[ale] KMail 1.7 on KDE3.3 Looking Good!!!

[BruceG]

I was trying out KMail 1.7 and saw it has wizards for setting up Spam filters 
and anti-virus tools. Pretty cool! It was a little harder setting those up on 
earlier versions - and lately I've been relying more on BellSouth's spam 
filters. 

Anyway - thought I'd take the wizards for a drive. I installed SpamAssassin 
and bogofilter. Ran the wizard - and the tools were integrated. No messing 
around. No goofiness. Some of the Spam BellSouth misses (not much) 
SpamAssassin is getting. You gotta like that!

Then I figured I'd try Anti-Virus. The wizards supports a couple Anti-Vir 
tools, ClamAV and F-Prot among them. I figured I'd give ClamAV a run. Then I 
went to an e-mail virus test site and sent about 25 e-mails to my address. 
BellSouth picked up 22 of them - didn't let them through at all (that's 
pretty good in and of itself). Of the three that snuck through, ClamAV picked 
up two and tossed them in the Trash folder. One got through to my inbox. Not 
bad.

For you tech folks with your own e-mail server, I'm sure you have some serious 
toolsets. But for a basic desktop user, the wizards and ease of setup make 
getting Anti-virus tools and Anti-Spam tools extremely simple. Give them a 
try! They're pretty cool.

get carried away here)
