SpamAssassin is written in [Perl] and is licensed under the same license as Perl itself.
(Note, this product will assassinate [Spam], but will leave [SPAM] well alone!)

+
+!How to make SpamAssassin run on your local e-mail machine (with XimianEvolution in mind)
+
+* get and install SpamAssassin, test that it works by piping a good email and a spam email through it
+* check that fetchmail(1) works, write a .fetchmailrc file
+* check that procmail(1) works, write a .procmailrc file
+* disable the regular pop mailboxes in Evolution
+* add a new "local delivery" mailbox to Evolution
+* write a tiny script I called "getmail" that does "fetchmail -m procmail" and make sure that it gets your email from the POP3 server correctly
+* add getmail to your crontab to run every 5 minutes
+* add a filter rule to Evolution: if specific header X-Spam-Flag = YES, drop the email in my Spam folder
+
+
