“But that is not going to happen over night. So…it is up
to the end user to make sure they have extra means of SPAM
prevention rolled into their email clients.

“Most email clients contain some sort of SPAM prevention. On the
Linux operating system you can employ such tools as Bogofilter or
Spamassassin. Either of these tools are great for stopping SPAM
– but what about using them with your favorite email client?
With some Linux email clients you have to add extra applications in
order to have one of these SPAM filters doing their job with your
client. Some clients, however, have built-in tools to save you a
little work. KMail belongs to the latter category. So long as you
have either/or Bogofilter or Spamassassin installed, you are one
step closer to having solid SPAM filtering.”
